Compliment Yourself Today
When I’m looking for an easy and quick way to spread joy, I will often compliment a stranger. I will tell a stressed-out young mom that I love her blouse. I will tell a grumpy old guy that he has a great hat. I will tell a cashier at the grocery store that she’s doing an amazing job.
This never fails to make people a little bit happier.
And if it gives other people joy, think of how it will make YOU feel.
Look in the mirror and tell yourself you’re going a good job. You got through the day and that’s truly the only task that matters. Tell yourself you’re strong. Tell yourself you have a beautiful heart. Tell yourself you are loved.
Because you are all of those things. And you deserve to hear that!

There Will Always Be Joy
I know that life can be tough right now. All might seem bleak. And we worry about the future.
But know there will always be joy. There will always be love. There will always be laughter.
I know this for certain because I grew up in a hostile environment. My dad was a monster. We never knew if we’d survive an interaction with him. We were dirt poor. Some days, we didn’t eat. We didn’t have running water. The bathroom was an outhouse or, sometimes, a hole in the ground. The winters were long and cold.
But stars, we had some laughs. (smiles) We would swim in the storm-water-filled ditches, rolling in the mud. We would tell very bad jokes. We would bump shoulders and smack backs and lovingly call each other silly names. We had fun.
And you and I will have fun in the future.
That is a certainty, my friend.
(big hugs)

There Are No Tariffs On Resold Goods
One of the projects the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I have been undertaking is packing up the gently used or still-in-the-package items we will never use to take to a charity shop.
We hope that someone else can find delight in them.
Normally, we do this in the Fall/Autumn, before the busy holiday season. That way the charity shops won’t have to store them for very long.
But this year, due to the bizarre tariff war the US has instigated, we suspect there will be more people shopping at charity shops during the Spring and Summer.
Because there are NO tariffs on second hand or resold goods.
It is also great for the environment. And the goods should be less expensive.
It is a win-win-win for everyone.
(smiles)
