DUE SEPT 21 - Mr MacPherson shared the video "The Science of Happiness". The link is below. Let's conduct our own experiment... write a short memo to someone whom you value. Tell them what positive influence they have had on your life and express your gratitude. (I've included mine)
Dear Tom,
I just wanted to pause for a moment and tell you how much I value your presence in my life. After 40 years together it is easy to fall into a routine of taking my most precious friendship for granted. I hope you know that you are my most valued collaborator and the shoulder upon which I can always find support. The daily tasks that you take on for the management of our shared household, are vital in order that I may be left with the energy to pursue the career that I love. Your commitment to my aging parent is beyond value as is your on-going mentoring of our "adult" offspring. I cherish the opportunity to share your warmth, both emotionally and physically. My gratitude is beyond words.
MR
Now...if you really want to replicate the experiment, share your posting with the person you are addressing. Paste it into an email and send it to them, print it and mail it or read it to them. It takes courage. You might want to wait for my comments. It's always nice to get rid of those pesky typos before sending it to the intended audience.
