Happy Monday!

Today is…Just Because Day

#JustBecauseDay

#BecauseDay

The day should be celebrated using a “just because” mindset. You should be doing things just because. Don’t do random things because it is Just Because Day, do them just because! Look for other holidays on Checkiday, and celebrate them just because. Here are some ideas of some things to do just because:

• sing in your car or in the shower
• run and skip
• go to a new restaurant
• buy something randomly
• make an unplanned visit to a friend
• say “hi” to everyone you meet when you are walking
• take a vacation day
• buy someone a gift
• go fishing
• get your haircut
• drive to a place you’ve never been
• hike in a forest
• spend the day reading a book

Every day we look for the best in Positive News so that you might have a great start on your day. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and support our mission.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future. Robert H. Schuller
