More Joy Day - The Joy Strikes Back!
Welcome friends and visitors to More Joy Day 2014!
This is our SEVENTH ANNUAL More Joy Day. Woo hoo! The goal of today is for us to seek out and give joy to others, in the hopes that it will expand outward into the world. We're kicking off the year with joy in the hopes of beginning as we mean to end. Now more than ever do we need to turn to kindness over anger, even if just for a day. Here is the original post where I describe the inspiration and intent behind More Joy Day.
The ultimate goal is to do just one joy-filled thing for someone(s) today; either something small, like letting someone in front of you in line or in traffic, or something big, like writing a fic or making a vid or buying a new couch for someone (well, maybe not THAT big). The smallest amount of joy helps, and is a kindness that wasn't there when you started. Online or offline counts! Whatever you can manage. You're further encouraged to then post about it and comment here with your link for further joy-sharing.
So! Comment away - and I'll post again later with my own contribution. And you're welcome to link to this post. Happy More Joy Day to you all!
Yesterday I put up an Askers and Givers Wishlist Post on Dreamwidth and Livejournal for you to leave a list of things you would like to receive, in case people are stumped about what to do. Go leave things! Some of us are watching that eagerly!
