Believe There Is Good In The World is a Wonderful Way To Start off the New Year. Positivity is totally contagious as is laughter. Come and share in some ideas on how to Be the Good and then share some of your ideas with us!
I am sure so many of you are reflecting on the year that is about to end. Then you are probably thinking about the New Year to come. January 1st is literally a regular day and you can begin all the things you want to on any day… but it is still fun to think of it as a clean slate just waiting to be written on… a fresh start!!! The world in 2019 has seen many ups and downs and too much disarray and discontent. There are many things to be thankful for but so much needs change for the good. I know none of us can do everything but we can all be a part of the change for good in little ways and in big ways too My mantra for this year is Believe There Is Good In The World and Be The Good each and every day… want to join me???
There are so many everyday simple things we all can do any day of the week…
- Simply smile at someone or wish them a Good Morning
- Surprise a Friend with a yummy little treat or cup of their favorite brew
- Give your doggie or kitty and extra yummy
