So, my mom is one of the most avid early adopters of my new site Tweeted Blessings, which is where I post two reasons to be happy every weekday, as well as distributing them via Twitter, RSS, and e-mail.
Part of the concept of the site is that I invite people to submit reasons to be happy. My mom did it and she provided an interesting insight on it that I wasn't expecting: it made her think about what makes her happy and just added to her happiness because it brought all those good thoughts to mind. Bonus!
If you haven't visited Tweeted Blessings yet, do it. If you haven't told your friends about it yet... do you hate your friends and not want them to be happy? Go, enjoy some reasons to be happy and then share them. Help start a happiness pandemic.
So, I just posted a "viral" video for the site I've been working on. Here it is...
Some of you may remember my post on counting your blessings last month. That incident sparked something in me. Besides helping reverse a descent into a dark place, it made me want to share that insight... that there are all these reasons to be happy all around us.
So I built Tweeted Blessings to find and share those reasons... in small, bite-sized pieces. Right now, I'm generating all the reasons because it just went public today, but hopefully people will tweet in or mail in their reasons, and it will become a little juggernaut of happiness.
I'm having a hard enough time finding work right now, so I decided to make some... this site. What better way to spend some of my time than working on something intended to spread happiness.
So, please, copy the video URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVh1T3I4TiQ
Send it to your friends, tell them to send it to their friends. Help me snowball this into an avalanche of joy. As an added benefit, you help keep me indoors working on positive projects.
