Surveys are only fun if one sees some results. “How are you doing? A 2013 review” produced the following statistics.:
1. Are you more aware when you smile? 
– Yes – 56%
– The rest were evenly divided between “Not really” and
“Working on it”
2. Have you let people open doors for you ?
– Yes – 67%
– Not really – 22%
– Working on it – 11%
3. Have you opened doors for others?
– Yes – 100%!
4. Have you been wrong and content to be wrong?
– Yes – 89%
– Working on it – 11%
5. Are you using revolving doors?
– Yes – 63%
– Not really – 33%
(For the person who asked, this wasn’t a trick question. It was simply about using revolving doors, but not everyone lives where there are any.)
6. Has your thankfulness increased?
– Yes – 67%
– Not really – 11%
– Working on it – 22%
Two comments were shared:
One shared they were really working on joy!
Another talked about a book entitled Die Empty. If whomever you are would share the publication details either in the comments or in a note to me, it would be appreciated!
And all of this shows we are beginning to engage the conversation of the little (and
sometimes bigger) things we do.

I’m the one who mentioned the book. It’s by Todd Henry, a local author. While there might not be anything earth shattering in it, it’s his packaging of the material into edible bites that makes it so effective. It’s available on Amazon in multiple formats (hardcopy, Kindle, etc.) and, I’m sure, can be found at bookstores:

Thanks!
