Self-Help Happiness Blog

Do you buy greeting cards for the people closest to you? Why not make them instead? Oh, sure, you won’t create a work of art or make some witty saying like those store-bought greeting cards. But it’s not for art or wit that you are giving the card, right?

 

A hand-made card shows that you took the time to do something special for your loved one. Let me repeat that with the right emphasis: A hand-made card shows that YOU took the time to do something special for your loved one.

 

You wouldn’t outsource your hugs. You wouldn’t outsource your hand shakes. You wouldn’t outsource your kisses or your smiles or your phone calls. Don’t outsource your greeting cards to some factory somewhere. Make your own and show that they really do come from the heart.  From your heart.

Here is today’s Daily Dose of Happiness…

LOVE

Love makes the world go ‘round.

When you are falling in love, of course, it feels like the world is
spinning and at any minute you’ll lose your balance and fall to the
spinning ground.

But real love, the slow-burn, steady and caring kind, is what keeps
things moving, what keeps us working together and helping each other.

Without this love, each of us would be an island, left to fend for
himself. Lonely. Lost. Loveless.

LOVE

Is there anything more important than love?  Love is about caring for other people -unconditional caring.  When we love, we go out of our way to make things better.  We try hard not to hurt people.  We try to make sure as many people as possible are comfortable.  We try not to pollute the air others breathe.  We restrain our baser instincts.

War could never happen if we all loved.  It is a failure to love that creates war.  Wouldn’t it be great if we could stop war forever, just by loving?  Of course, your single decision to love won’t end war on its own.but it sure can brighten up your little corner of the world.

This one just came in by email, and I just had to share:
