I can really listen to them when they speak to me by putting down the phone, turning off the tv, or setting the book down, whatever I am engaged in is not as important as paying attention to what the other needs to say to me. 1 Reply Ose1 month agoOseSending 😍🌈🌟✨❤️ 1 Reply Don Jones1 month agoDon JonesToday… as I step out the front door Arms spread wide and looking to the sky Create the intention to… Be infinitely less of a Man… Be infinitely more of a Man… Completely embrace this mystery and grandeur… And at the end of this day that has no beginning nor end… Be the best, the greatest, the one and only! 4 Reply Hermann-Josef1 month agoHermann-JosefBy bringing some ice cream for my daughter. That might be a source of joy for me too, because it is hot in the city 7 Reply carol1 month agocarolmay I be mindful of seeking the treasure 2 Reply TofuLove1 month agoTofuLoveWell, I certainly am full of surprises but joyful, hmm, that’s a little unusual. Let's start with some comedy, I grew up in Hawaii which has probably some of the most goofy and sweet people in the states ... that also sometimes like to get into random physical altercations which are like them, very goofy haha. This local comedian captures the essence well: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CeR6kswA8Km/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link It’s odd because I don’t know if I’m that intentional in think...Well, I certainly am full of surprises but joyful, hmm, that’s a little unusual.

Maybe a mix dependent on the perspective. I think I can be joyful in other people’s lives because I’m unique, people are not always ready to full appreciate uniqueness when they encounter it but it is a reminder to them that they can inhabit more a space of what is true for them and don’t have to fit with everyone else on every issue.

Thank you! 2 Reply GR8FULL1 month agoGR8FULLToday I will refrain from showing or discussing with my son, girlfriend, and ex-wife what ails/worries me. Today, I will be present with them and make our interactions about them, and not me. 2 Reply Antoinette1 month agoAntoinetteI made a lovely lunch for my boys today ! Love those sweethearts! 4 Reply Mary Pat1 month agoMary PatI will send a good friend a greeting card. Yep! She will love it….. 3 Reply TheMindofJade1 month agoTheMindofJadeToday I believe that by being positive and focusing on the brighter side of things, I will encourage others or at least one other person to open their mind and embrace all that is good instead of focusing on negatives. By having this way of thinking, I believe we will start to build on our gratefulness for all the positives already in our lives. What surprise could be more joyful, than that of a positive outlook! 4 Reply Charlie T1 month agoCharlie TBy being open and available to the moment. And by not fighting the flow. I try to be open to, and seek joy every day, but right now, it’s no surprise that I need a joyful cup of coffee. 5 Reply Barb C1 month agoBarb CGo, Team Coffee! I’m also a member of the CaffeiNation. 2 Reply Laura1 month agoLauraI can offer presence, kindness and respect, but I can’t control how any of that is received. Maybe my behavior is noticed and appreciated, maybe it’s not. 6 Reply devy1 month agodevyBy phoning my step mom who is alone.

People line up all day just to be surprised by this rock’n bundle of joy and merriment coming their way! But really, can such things be planned? Usually, it’s a spontaneous, oftentimes rare moment when these things happen that no one saw coming and that’s what makes it joyful and surprising. 8 Reply Mary Pat1 month agoMary Pat“Rockin’ Bundle of Joy”….made me laugh, even before coffee! Thanks for the surprise. 2 Reply Michele1 month agoMicheleBy letting everyone know what today’s National Days are: What is Today? 3 Reply Mica1 month agoMicaThank you, Michele – My daily calendar says it’s Social Media Day – how appropriate!
