Is It FUN To Create Happiness in Others ? Do U Do It ?

Uhhhh...

I answer threads that are getting views but no replies.

I compliment someone on their clothes, or shoes, or hairstyle, or whatever they seem to have put some effort into and looks good.

I praise hard work or well-turned phrases or good deeds.

I laugh at jokes.

I listen.


There are a zillion ways to bring joy... or at least a smidgen of pleasantness. And when it works, it's a lot of fun.

I'm a natural born clown.

It's my calling in life to make others smile.

Different ways...

Opening doors for those everyone else has ignored, talking to those that look like they could use an ear, showing up to help on move day to someone that didn't ask, calling someone that you know is having a hard time.

I think my favorite one that happened here recently was Christmas Eve, my husband and I had went through the Sonic Drive through to get a coke before we headed home early that morning. This little girl come out and gave us our drinks, and looked soooo unhappy. She had to go back in to get us change for the 20 we'd give her. She just looked miserable. My husband gave her the 10 back as a tip and told her "Merry Christmas"....She was so shocked, but she smiled the biggest smile I've seen. It was well worth it.......

It's fun to do things anonymously.

I'll tell this now, because it's been a few years.

I was in a meeting with maybe a dozen people, discussing planned purchases for the year.l

Someone said they were going to wait until May 1st to get something they needed.

One of the other women whose dad had died a year and a half before, sighed and said...."May 1st...My father always used to send me flowers on May Day. It was really hard this past year when he wasn't there to send them"


On that May 1st, she received a big bouquet of Spring flowers, and a card that simply read, "Happy May Day Carol.

She asked a million people, but no one seemed to know where they came from. :wink:

Aw, that's so cool!

In the 1980s, I was seeing a young lady who had a 9 year old boy.
Around tax time in April, he received an obviously fony letter in the mail,
purportedly from the IRS, sending him a $100.oo bill in cash,
representing itself to be his tax refund.
I doubt that he had been expecting it,
in that he had no income n had paid no tax on the non-income.

Thay were never able to figure out its actual source.
Life is full of surprizes.

He was able to re-live the experience
each time that he recounted it to his friends in school.

I give service providers a really good tip and for sure, that'll bring a big smile to their faces.. :wink:

Not always fun to do, but with an amazing potential to make someone happy.

Yeah.
U might try giving an automatic umbrella
stuffed full of cash, on the inside; the larger denomenations
seem to work better.

For optimal results,
u shud advise the recipient to test it indoors,
before it rains.

Yeah.
That ought to work.

U might try abandoning $20 bills around in public places
( like the on the furniture in common areas of good hotels ).

If u come back to check a few hours later,
u 'll probably find them no longer in place.
