Word and Quote of the Week
*** Feeling Good ***
*** “It’s really important that you feel good. Because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the universe and starts to attract more of itself to you.
So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and that will keep bringing you up higher and higher.”
– Joe Vitale: Motivational author and speaker

Employee Morale Activity
September is One-On-One Month
This is a month to get to know your co-workers, family members, and friends better by meeting One-on-One.
When people spend time together One-on-One, they are more likely to talk about their lives in a meaningful way. It is easier for them to express their hopes, dreams, ideas, and share their interests in ways that they would never do in a group or even a threesome.
One-on-One time together creates common understanding and closeness.
Activity ideas:
- Go to a one-on-one lunch with each of your co-workers.
- Go for a long walk in the park with a family member.
- Have a telephone visit with an out of town friend or relative.
- Take one of your children at a time for a special outing.

Joke of the Week
Going to the Zoo
A guy finds a sheep wandering in his neighborhood and takes it to the police station. The desk sergeant says, “Why don’t you just take it to the zoo?”
The next day, the sergeant spots the same guy walking down the street—with the sheep.
“I thought I told you to take that sheep to the zoo,” the sergeant says.
“I know what you told me,” the guy responds.
“Yesterday I took him to the zoo. Today I’m taking him to the movies.”
