More Joy Day 2017: A Good Day to Joy Hard
HI EVERYONE! Welcome to the TENTH (!!!) annual More Joy Day!
![]()
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, which desperately needs it. We're kicking off the year - on this day in particular - with joy in the hopes of beginning as we mean to go on. Let's have some joy, even if just for a day, or the moment you give it, and carry it with us in the year to come. Here is the 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 (who knows, it could happen). 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. If you're doing this on Twitter, we'll be using the hashtag #MoreJoyDay and for Tumblr, tag it "more joy day." I LOVE reading about what other people did, so please don't hesitate to publicize it!
So! Comment away - and I'll post again in a bit with my own contribution. And you're welcome to link to this post. Happy More Joy Day to you all!
