Be kind to our community Please recycle this guide! This guide is published by
It doesn’t matter how young or old you are, it doesn’t cost any money and it doesn’t take much time. Start each day by declaring, “I’m going to do something to fill someone’s bucket today.” And at the end of each day ask yourself, “Did I fill a bucket today?” These words from Carol McCloud’s children’s book “Have You Filled a Bucket Today” encourage us to think of ways to make our home, school, workplace and community happier places to be. So how do you fill a bucket? All you need to do is show kindness to someone by saying or doing something nice or simply smiling at them. When we fill someone’s bucket, we fill our own bucket too. Teaching our children to express kindness and love leads to happier lives. In today’s society we are so busy racing from one activity to the next that we may overlook the opportunity to connect with those around us. Attitudes and relationships contribute considerably to our happiness. According to actionforhappiness.org, there are 10 keys to happier living: GREAT DREAM
