Father’s Day
Father’s Day!
A day to honor Dad. NO. Better still, it is a day to enjoy time with Dad and appreciate all that he does for you. What Dad really wants is healthy, happy and successful kids. And, he wants you to spend a few moments with him on Father’s Day. Today’s lifestyle is busy for both dads and kids. So, a little time with dad on Father’s Day is just what he wants.
A Father is more than the biological paternal source of our being. It is the person who cares and provides for us. It is the man who helps to set the standards, the family values and the example. So add to this group, step fathers and other men who willingly and eagerly accept and cherish the role. Whether biological, adopted or informally, if they are the father figure to you, give him some recognition today and don’t hesitate to call him “Dad”.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad’s!
Smile Power Day
Smile Power Day is today. Feel the power. Give everyone you see a big, friendly, “I like you” smile. You never know, your warm smile just might turn someone’s day right around…for the good!
Love may make the world go round. But, a smile makes the world a happy place. A smile is a powerful thing. Best of all, it’s contagious. However, we do note that in order to be effective, a smile must be sincere. People can see right through phony or forced smiles.
Spend the whole day with a big, bright smile on your face. Flash a toothy smile to everyone you encounter.
A smile is so powerful, that it can:
Add years to your life
Make you a happier person
Make someone else a happier person
Change the mood for the giver and the receiver
Improve relationships
In business, it sends a great customer service message

Cheer Up the Lonely Day
Today is Cheer Up the Lonely Day. It is an opportunity to make a lonely person happy. Any time you can make someone happy, you’ve done a good thing, and should be proud of yourself.
Lonely people have few friends and loved ones. They may have lost loved ones over the years. They may be elderly. They see people on an infrequent basis.
Spend some time today cheering up lonely people. It’s easy to do…..just spend some time with them. When you visit, bring happy things to talk about. Keep the conversation upbeat, and lively. When you leave, give a big hug and let them know you enjoyed the stay. Sending cards or making a phone call is okay, only if they live too far away to visit. What a lonely person really needs, is face to face time with other people.
