So this week at work has been a soul-sucking week.

So here is an unreasonably Randomly joyful post.

Since I need it most of all.

Why not spend a day in the sun, even when it is raining.

Why not smile even when it is hard.

Why not fight even when you want to quit. Why not look forward to something even when you do not know what it is.

Why not look inward instead of looking outward.

Why not call someone and connect even though you feel alone.

Why not see the beauty in nature, even when you are fumbling around in the dark.

Why not hope, even when you feel hopeless.

In a word full of toxic positivity, liars, and snake oil salesman. It is not about tricking yourself into some artificial reality of temporary happiness, that is no different than taking drugs, or drinking. This is a call to action, it is about doing shit you will not feel like doing. It is not motivation that creates momentum, it is the momentum that creates the motivation!
