ON BEING CHEERY

If they gave awards to each month, December would get the title of "Cheeriest Month." And that's good news for our goal of making the world a better place. It's easier when we're cheery. But no one (with the possible exception of Santa Claus) is cheery all the time. There are moments of car trouble, people cutting in line, and needing a nap we can't have. Those are moments of opportunity. We can be good solely as opportunists, or good in all moments, even when it's hard to be. This week, our simple helps revolve around being good on purpose, to create cheer where none would otherwise be found.
