Inject............................


      There are many other tiny things that give me joy and pleasure too.  Writing with a really good pen.  Walks with my little girl around my neighborhood.  The first sip of coffee in the morning.  A clean car (both inside and out).  Being smartly dressed.  The feeling of doing a random act of kindness for a loved one or a stranger.

      I don't feel any of us take enough time to identify these simple, often free, acts that give us pleasure and joy.  Even those of us who do, often do not take the time or give ourselves permission to indulge in them.  Especially when it would benefit us the most.

     Having a bad day?  Feeling a little down?  If you have some of these time pleasures already identified, see if acting on one can help turn things around.  It may not solve the whole problem.  But, at least for a moment, it may help you feel a bit better.

     Even if things are just fine, it can never hurt to inject moments of peace and happiness into your day.
