Overwhelming feelings of great pleasure and happiness are not something I experience every day. Alas, my interludes of Joy are sometimes far and few between. At any rate, today is one of those days we should attempt finding happiness outside the norms for which society calls.
Today is National Day of Joy.
It is observed on the last Wednesday of June since 2019 under the auspices of Comfort Keepers, a group of senior care givers — which makes it June 25th this year.
It is said that each joyful moment improves well being and this is not a function of circumstance but it is an ability to rejoice over the small things and at all times.
•
Be kind to others.
•
Laugh out loud.
•
Engage in music and singing for they are great sources of joy to the human spirit.
•
Stop and smell the roses.
•
Admire family members.
•
Enjoy your surroundings and the moment.
These are those elements for which National Day of Joy was created.
Try not to compare yourself to others, but engage other people and start talking to those in your midst. This can ignite the fires of joy in your spirit.
Now go forth and share that joy which abides within you. Have a happy National Day of Joy.
