Day 3: If You're Happy and You Know It-#SOL17

Did you just clap your hands? I promise not to break out into song for today's post, but wanted to share some happiness for your Friday that comes from a tiny, daily piece of paper.

First, let's back up to December to a Barnes and Noble checkout line. Our school was hosting a spirit night at a local location, and as I waited in line, I spied out of the corner of my eye, a pile of desktop calendars for the upcoming new year.  A bright, yellow box stood out, and I noticed it said Instant Happy Notes: 365 reminders to smile and shine.  Who wouldn't love a daily reminder for the entire year that could make them feel even happier?...SOLD.

I keep my happiness calendar on my desk at work, and I look forward to tearing off the paper to reveal what the day's message will hold.  More times than not, it's been just what I needed to start my day off on the right foot.  I even tuck away some of my favorites that have really resonated with me for when I need a pick-me-up or perspective.

However, what's the best thing about happiness? To spread it, not to just keep it for yourself.  I love sharing my daily #happynote with my PLN and friends in hopes that they too, may read just what they need to have a great day or at least approach their day with a different mindset.  I leave you with today's note with the hope that your day was filled with happiness and love.  If not, tomorrow's a new day and there's always time to choose happiness.
