A day to delight
Go against the stream. Unemployment, recovery, clunkers, government takeover of business, Kanye: not much to smile about here! Are you willing to offer something beyond a weak smile and a tepid dose of phatic discourse?
Make a decision. Be brilliant! You hold a unique share of life wisdom. Add the shine of your personality into your world. Let other people delight in your glorious individuality.
Delight others by saying something meaningful. Ask a question - and mean it! - about their personal life. Show people that you have noticed them.
This morning I wore my tie-died shirt to my gym. Kendall, the young hipster who greets club members, said something nice about my shirt. For a few short minutes, we chatted about the psychedelic era, and life when people still felt their groove. Brief as it was, we connected well beyond the usual "How ya doin?"
Be open to the experience. Bloom in public. Add delight to the world.

I like this philosophy. Now, when things are tough in the economy, attitude is more important than ever!
