Sweeter Than a Spoonful of Sugar

According to Mary Poppins, "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."  Well in my life I've certainly found things are much easier to handle with a little something good to accompany them.  A song, a friend, a cupcake, a silver lining, (hehe) ... adding a little sweetness to anything always makes it easier to swallow.  Yet somehow, in todays busy world, we often forget the power of a spoonful of sugar.

Amy Martin hasn't forgotten though... the founder of Digital Royalty is doing a cartwheel a day for 365 days as her daily dose of fun. 





 Alana Golob's daily sweetness is a heel click.  Taking the time everyday to do something to make you smile can really help with those tough times... So what's your daily dose?


  


There's a great quote by Aristotle that says, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."

When we make it a habit to treat ourselves to a dose of joy everyday, we become joyful!  So give it a shot, have a daily dance, moment of thanks, or high five... the options are endless, and so are the benefits... and that is sweeter than sugar!  (What's my daily dose?  Come back tomorrow and find out, yayuh!)

Today's Silver Lining

"Pick me up, oh, from the bottom, Up to the top, love, everyday, Pay no mind to taunts or advances, I take my chances on everyday, Left to right, Up and down, love, I push up love, love everyday, Jump in the mud, 
Get your hands dirty with, Love it up on everyday."  Everyday- by The Dave Matthews Band


This video is pretty awesome if you have time!
