As predicted by the Old Farmer’s Almanac once again, this winter was the coldest and most brutal most of us will ever see in our lifetime, which is what makes this day so fantastic. Friday, March 20th is officially the end of winter for the Northern Hemisphere! Plus, it’s International Day of Happiness, promoted by the United Nations, which means you have even more reason to smile.
Aside from welcoming warmer weather with open arms, we can gaze upon the colorful flowers and greener trees, savor seasonal fruits and veggies, enjoy the outdoors, lay out in the sun and Vitamin D (make sure to wear sunscreen), and live happier from the beautiful surroundings.
The following includes a few things you can do on the first day of spring to make everyone around you have a better day:
1. Make eye contact and smile at each person you meet
2. Help someone in need
3. Convey appreciation for others
4. Call your loved ones just to say “I love you”
5. Perform acts of kindness, no matter how small or big
6. Volunteer your time or donate money to a great cause
7. Answer the phone with a cheerful tone
8. Give compliments to as many people as possible
9. Allow others in a rush to cut in front of you in traffic
10. Be kind all day long despite negativity that may come your way
We hope these few tips will brighten up your day and everyone around you, while enjoying the start of spring. Although most of us will be enjoying the warm air, it also means that some are experiencing the aftermath of the chilliest winter including property damage. Please don’t hesitate to Call Paul if you have any property damage caused by fire, water, mold or wind. We’re there to help!
