Since July, we have shared more than 100 reasons to be happy.
This year, we started something new at our meetings - at least it's new since I've been a member. At the beginning of each meeting, we pass around the Happy Jar. Anyone with something happy to share may do so and put $1 in the jar. This allows us to learn more about each other, to celebrate the wins in our lives, and it starts off our meetings with positive energy.
Since July, we have shared more than one hundred blessings and happy news. Some of the things we are happy about as a club include:
- The birth of a grandchild/great-grandchild
- Beating cancer (again!)
- Children scoring touchdowns
- Our favorite teams winning
- Healing for members and family members
- Recovery from surgeries
- A parent on hospice being able to have coffee with his buddies
- Safe travels
- A grandchild getting their permit/license and not getting any tickets or accidents
- Calves selling well
- Moving into new houses
- Being able to attend meetings and particpate in Rotary
We are so blessed! We haven't yet decided what to do with our "Happy Money," but knowing our club, I'm sure whatever is decided will only continue to spread the happiness. Come to our next meeting and share your happy news!
