Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad
Hello gorgeous!
I want to share a little history in the month of celebrating President's Day, Mardi Gras, Black History Month, Valentine's Day, and Ash Wednesday. My father would be 110 today. He passed away in 2009 at the age of 95 on my son's birthday. We honestly didn't think he would last more than a year after my mom passed in 1992. But he had a purpose, and that was his grandchildren. They brought him JOY.
He also enjoyed golfing, sitting outside daily soaking up the sunshine (even in Buffalo, NY, in winter), and smoking a big cigar. (It's not my favorite, but sometimes I smell it and think of him.) This was his joy.
"Whenever I visited him, he never failed to extend his generosity, whether it was the $20 he had won at the horse races or a generous gift of $100. He offered it without strings attached, expressing that witnessing our enjoyment brought him immense joy. His only wish was to be present and share in the pleasure as we savored the moment. This act of giving brought him genuine happiness, creating cherished memories that transcended the material value of the gift.
I had an exciting and interesting childhood and love sharing small snippets.
This leads me to your Weekly Dose of joy! I have a special announcement if you're still with me at the end of this email.

What are you stressing about? What could your life be like if you focused on the little things that brought you joy? What if you paused long enough to find joy in the day-to-day tasks? Let's dive in.
Sometimes, I get caught up in the hustle
Sometimes, I am so tired at the end of the day
Sometimes, I feel like I didn't accomplish anything today
Some days go by so fast, and I still think there is more to do
I'm going to take a pause
I'm going to take a break
I know when I pause and take a break, I feel like I have more time
When I take time out of my day to do something that brings me joy, it feels good
When I schedule time on my calendar, I make sure I make myself a priority
When I put myself first, I accomplish more
When I take a few deep breaths, I accomplish more
When I close my eyes, take a break, or take a nap, I accomplish more
It feels good slowing down and taking a "joy break."
It feels so good to re-energize myself
It feels so good to re-center myself
It feels so good to re-set my day
Yes, I'm putting my well-being as a priority
Yes, I'm important, and so is my JOY
Yes, I feel JOY
Yes, I feel JOY
Yes, I feel JOY
I hope this helps you add something to each day that brings you JOY!
It will shift the way you approach your tasks and others!
