Have you brought JOY to just one person by your listening, your sharing, or your kindness?
Have you taken time to just BE? To just experience some aspect of you that you like?
Have you enjoyed being on the earth, and found something in nature that inspires you?

As Kathleen Crowley puts it (p.193):

"Life -- be in it ! Get out there, find things you like to do, and you'll also find people you like to be with. "

As Kathleen Crowley says (p.153):
"Negative emotions tend to buildon one another. So do positive ones, hence the ripple effect."
