Be kind homies...

I don’t know if it is just me coming back from vacation and being in the sunshine for a week straight. Or maybe it’s from being at the “ Happiest place on earth” hanging with Goofy and Mickey. I feel refreshed and ready to rock and roll. Being in sunny Florida makes me realize that its okay to be friendly and kind. Up in the great north I feel like we become so jaded and callous towards people sometimes. We keep our heads down and walk quickly to point A to point B. I don’t want to blame it on the weather and never seeing sunlight for almost half the year… but I am blaming on the weather. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt my whole trip in Florida in the middle of January. It was glorious.

It shouldn’t be like pulling teeth to be kind to each other, in fact it should make us feel good to do something nice. I think I am going to put forward a more conscious effort this week to be friendlier and bring some of that Florida sunshine up north. Be a beacon of positive energy to all the people you greet. Maybe we can melt the snow a little more quickly with our happiness towards ourselves and each other. Who am I kidding? There will probably be snow until the 4th of July fireworks go off.

Be Kind out there homies.

P.S. GO BILLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Whistle ,Whistle, Not Thistles and Missiles

I was walking out of Dick’s Sporting Goods yesterday and I was whistling a rather catchy tune, and some old lady passing by said to her middle aged daughter, “He must be in a happy mood.”

I must say I was taken aback by the comment as I walked back to my car. It made me feel good to see others experience what I have everyday, or try to make an effort to experience. It made me realize how a little more happiness can make someone’s day. I had no idea I was whistling; it comes naturally from when I was a kid til now. My Grandpa Joe (not the same Grandpa from Willy Wonka, if you’re wondering.) always whistled around the house, and I must’ve picked up on it and have been whistling around the house ever since. Happiness should be shared with everybody around you. A positive energy normally exudes from you and is definitely contagious. Don’t believe me? Do this: Next time you are at a party or social interaction, look for the person with the smiles and notice the how the people are around them and how they laughing and enjoying life. Then look for the scowl and stern faced people and how they are lonely and bored to death. Put yourself out there and stop being so serious all the time. You will see happiness attracts the awesome people. Now go chat with the the scowl faced person and brighten their day. Happiness should be for you and everyone.

So go out there and whistle while walking, listen to inspiring podcasts, be your goofy self

and start living your happy life.

P.S. Maybe I will go back to school to get my degree in Classical Whistling Performance or Basket Weaving.
