Give Yourself a High Five for Mowing the Lawn

"It all starts with a SMILE"

My son will soon celebrate his forty-third birthday. My wife
and I had Greg when we were ten by the way!

My son employs an idea which is not new, but one I'd like to
remind you of. He throws himself a party on his birthday.

A few years ago, he got tired of waiting for someone to make as
big a deal over his birthday as he wanted. Greg's always been a
little immature; even in his thirties he wanted clowns and pony
rides. When no one showed up with party hats and balloon
animals to his 39th birthday, he decided that, rather than feel
like a victim, he would take matters into his own hands.

Greg has celebrated at a cool Japanese steakhouse the last two years, at the request of his sons. This year, the rumor is he's going to have a cookout. Regardless, his decision to throw his own party is a win-win for everyone.

On one hand, Greg gets to party exactly as he wants to and that
feels great to him. On the other hand, celebrating his birthday
is not a burden on anyone else - we can all feel free to simply
enjoy the event rather than plan for it. And we've all begun to
look forward to the end of June because of the party!

One of the Smile Strategies you've employed from It All Starts
with a SMILE is to Celebrate Everything. This week I want to
remind you not to forget celebrating yourself! It may not be
your birthday, but I know you've recently done something that
you can (and should) celebrate.

So whether you're celebrating a birth or simply that you got the
lawn mowed this week, have a ball and toot your own horn. Everyone
around you will appreciate it and you'll find yourself
immersed in joy!
