nTodaynis a day to focus on getting up “on the right side of the bed,”nbeing cheerful and happy in the morning, “playing Pollyanna” andn“looking on the bright side of things.” The creators of this daynare so cheery, as a matter of fact, that they want us to get up innthe morning “gloriously, gratefully, and gleefully”!

nHerenare a few ideas for celebrating Upsy Daisy Day:
n
n
n
n
n
- n
- Watchn the movie Up.
n
n
n
- Take a look at your world from someplace high. You might be able to go up an elevator of a tall building, for example, and look out the windows. A hot air balloon ride would be even more awesome!
n
n
n
- Readn the book Pollyanna,n by Eleanor Porter. The younger set may prefer Great Day for Up,n by Dr. Seuss.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
- Wear a “smiley-face” T-shirt or button. Or just your own beautiful smile!

nWhatn do you think of this “Upsy Daisy Song” for toddlers?I know teeny children like the upsy-daisy game—where you swoopn them up, up, up!
n
nn
- Cheern someone up. Remember, laughter is a great medicine, and smiling andn hugging can actually make physical (chemical) changes that tend ton make people happier!
