There is a lot being said in the media right now about contagious illness. From flesh eating bacteria at the beach to the fear of E Bola - you name it, its out there. Now I am not mocking this but some people spend so much time worrying about catching something that they can't enjoy life.
There are other things that are contagious as well. Gossip, for one, is very contagious. One little snippet of misguided info can start a whole chain or rumors. Complaining is another one. Let me hear my co-worker say something hurts and I will have to share everything that is wrong with me. Yes, complaining is contagious.
There is something else that is contagious. Something much more positive. Laughter is contagious. We hear something funny and we have to tell it. Before you know it, the joke is all over the office. A smile can be contagious as well. We smile at someone and they may smile at someone else. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could fill our day with smiles and laughter instead of complaints.
Let's decide today that we are going to pass along a smile, a joke, a kind word, or a good deed. Who knows? It might become an epidemic.
Blessings,
