The Old Farmer’s Almanac was right once again. This winter was the most brutal most of us have seen or will see in our lifetime, which is what makes this day so fantastic. Friday, March 20th is officially the end of winter for the North America! Plus, it’s International Day of Happiness, promoted by the U.N., which means you have even more reason to smile.
Aside from welcoming warmer weather with open arms, we can gaze upon the beautiful flowers and greener nature, savor seasonal fruits and veggies, enjoy the outdoors, soak in the sunshine and Vit-D (make sure to wear sunscreen), and be happier from the beautiful surroundings.
Here are a few things you can do on the first day of spring to make everyone around you have a brighter day:
1. Make eye contact and smile at each person you meet
2. Assist others in need
3. Convey appreciation for others
4. Call someone out of the blue just to say “I love you”
5. Perform acts of kindness, no matter how small or big
6. Volunteer your time or donate money to a great cause
7. Answer the phone with a cheerful tone
8. Compliment as many people as you can
9. Allow someone in a hurry to cut in front of you in line
10. Be kind all day long despite negativity that may come your way
Hopefully these few suggestions will brighten up your day and everyone around you, while enjoying the start of the spring season. Although many of us will be soaking in the warm air, it also means that some are experiencing the aftermath of the chilliest winter including property damage. Please don’t hesitate to Call Paul if you have any damage to your property caused by fire, water, mold or wind. We’re there to help!
