My mom was really surprised when I picked her up in a limo for a Mother’s Day Brunch one year.
Did you begin the year making resolutions?
If you stuck to them, it’s probably because you
- kept your goals small and achievable
- asked friends to help you stay on track by holding you accountable
- changed your environment to support your new behavior.
Regardless of how you fared in this annual practice, here’s an opportunity to start anew, but with just one resolution.
What is Color Your Life Happy Day?
On August 9th join me in celebrating “Color Your Life Happy Day”, a day to participate in something you enjoy, some activity that will make
you happy and others too. Then make a decision to make it a habit to continue finding joy, pleasure, a way to help others for the rest of the year.
Happiness is not a destination, but the things we do along the way as we live our lives. At the end of their lives, many wish they had slowed down, worked less and spent more time enjoying family, friends and fun activities. Don’t let this be you.
Regrets are a waste. Do the things that bring you joy and happiness everyday.
The Origin of Color Your Life Happy Day
This special celebration was inspired by the memory of my mother, Mildred S. Morris, who would have turned 105 years old this year on August 9, 2015 (she passed at age 92 in 2002.) She was a hairstylist by trade, but spent her life making people happy with her music. She played piano and organ from childhood through her mid 80’s for many churches, organizations and events. Everyone who ever heard her play was touched by her lively and fervent style.
How to Participate?
Please join me in celebrating Color Your Life Happy Day on August 9th.
You may choose to enjoy a simple pleasure such as taking time off to read a neglected book. You may join the courageous who use this day to get control of the clutter that has been making them very unhappy. Or maybe you’ll rent a Harley or Segway to go for a fun ride. How about becoming a tourist in your own town and visit a museum or other local treasure you’ve never seen? A local convalescent home would likely welcome you to spend some time with a resident who never gets visitors.
Get busy thinking of how you will celebrate Color Your Life Happy Day. Then on August 9th take a picture showing how you celebrated. Remember, it doesn’t have to be grand or spectacular by anyone else’s standards. It just has to be something that makes you happy. Email it to me at [email protected] with your name, activity, and city/state/country. Or use the hashtag #coloryourlifehappy to post it on Instagram or Twitter. I will post entries on my blog, Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/coloryourlifehappy and my Pinterest page.
I’m looking forward to the wonderful array of celebrations.
It’s available in sizes small through 5XL and three
other colors: gold, lime and white.
What a great way to support the right to happiness
we all deserve.
