Day 6 - If you use an extension cord...use it wisely. People tend to use extension cords for that extra set of lights or the dancing Santa in the corner. Extension cords should only be used as a temporary connection. Ensure your cords are not positioned under rugs. This can cause damage to the cord and could potentially cause a fire.
Day 5 - Make sure everyone knows how to get out of the house safely if a fire should ignite. Plan out and practice a fire escape plan with everyone in your home. Ensure that there's someone designated to help small children, older adults, or anyone else that may need assistance to leave the house quickly. Once outside, stay outside and call 911 from a cell phone or neighbors’ house.

When things aren't going your way and you haven't had a win in a while, remember that these are times when we can learn the most. Jerry Seinfeld was once told that he needed to be "stepped on" and wouldn't find opportunities at the Comedy Store...the only apparent path to success in Los Angeles for a comedian. He took that hit, used it as fuel, and went to work like he never had before. We all know how that played out! Step back from your worst moments, see what treasures can be found, grab them up and keep moving forward. You can do it!

A professor gave a balloon to every student, they then had to inflate it, write their name on it, and throw it in the hallway. The professor then mixed up all the balloons. The students were given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. After a hectic search, no one found their own balloon. At that point the professor told the students to grab the first balloon they picked up and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes everyone had their own balloon. Then the professor said to the students: “These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we will find ours too.”

It's Random Acts of Kindness Day! Have you ever heard of "The Waiter Rule"?
Basically, it says that the way someone treats the wait staff at a restaurant says a lot about a person. For instance, those who are kind, considerate, and appreciative of their wait staff tend to be happier and more successful. Make an effort today to connect with the person serving you. Smile. Ask how they're doing. They are often dealing with things 'behind the scenes' both personally and in their job that the customer may never know about. Be compassionate if your food doesn't come out as quickly as you'd like. Sometimes that's because they are short-staffed or the cooks are backed up in the kitchen. And, make sure to tip your server. They live on those tips!

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ Avoid the dangers that come with Road Rage with these simple tips: 1. Take the high road. If a driver makes an obscene gesture, don’t respond in kind — it will only escalate the situation. In fact, avoid eye contact altogether. 2. Give them space. Let angry drivers get well ahead of you, or change lanes. 3. Don’t give them a reason to be angry. Are you driving too slowly in the left lane? Did you cut off other cars or take 15 seconds to notice the light was green? If you’re guilty, give an apologetic shrug or wave, or mouth “Sorry.” 4. Report it. “We’re not advocates of using cell phones if you’re behind the wheel,” Kissinger says, “but in a situation where you think there is a dangerous driver, don’t hesitate to call the police.” Stay safe out there!!
