Hi Reader,

For Christmas last year our daughter gave me a small desk calendar about 5 inches square. It has one page for each day of the year, on which is a quote from Adam Grant.

I don’t know anything about Adam Grant, but I like a lot of what he has to say in his daily calendar.

For example, here’s a quote from him for May 1st:

“One of the best anti-anxiety treatments is generosity.
Helping others reduces stress by helping us feel valued and capable.”

I’m going to chew on this awhile, I hope you do too.

And by the way, season 9 of You Were Made for This is getting closer to finding its way into your earbuds.

Until next time, I wish you all the joy that you can wish.*

P.S. In last week’s blog post I gave you the wrong link to the May 1 post about the qualities to look for in the next pope…and any spiritual leader. Here is the correct link, plus the link to last week’s post :
