Seven Ways to make the Most of a Moment - Week 2

Life is made up of many moments.  
Getting the very most out of your life starts with how you use each one. 

Here are this week’s suggestions:

 1.  Today is April 1st.  Play an April Fool’s Day joke and make someone laugh.  But be  

      kind.  

• When I was about 9 years old, I decided to play “THE BEST April Fool’s Day joke EVER” on my Dad.  I replaced the contents of the sugar bowl with salt. He always put granulated sugar on his cereal.  That morning though - and he swears he didn’t suspect anything - he decided to use brown sugar.  I was so disappointed. We laughed more about how this joke failed than we ever would have though, had I succeeded in fooling him!  

 2.  Get back in touch with an old friend.  (Facebook makes this easier than ever.)

 3.  Pay some extra attention to your pet.  You will both benefit.

 4.  Try a new recipe.  This is one that I like:  Favorite Recipe: “Canoe Trip Banana-Butterscotch Brownies.”

 5.  Smile and thank the cashier, the next time you have a long wait in line to get 

      groceries.  It will make his/her day more pleasant too!

 6.  Write down a few long term goals; you are more likely to succeed if you put them in

      writing.

 7.  Read a good book.  I am currently really enjoying The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold

      Fry: A Novel, by Rachel Joyce on my Kindle.   

How are you getting the most out of all your moments?
