   Candy is good, but I think fresh fruit is better. Especially for long term happiness.

   I really appreciate recognition for work well done, so to role model that for others at my workplace, I do the following: set aside time on Fridays to write notes of praise to the person and their manager. If warranted, I send a “goody”, which is a gift card.

   Setting time aside on my electronic calendar reminds me to thank those who’ve helped me during the week, and it gets the weekend off on a great start!

   Warm Regards, Kris Lea

   Greggles: I agree. But where passing out sweets is… sweet, pasing out carrots may be taken as a hint by some people :o)

   Kris: What a great way to pass on appreciation. Fridays are great for taking stock and looking back, and I like that you schedule it in this way. May I use this idea in the happy at work book I’m writing?

   Agree with Greggles (as I read this 7 years later) – promoting long term happiness and health with natural, whole food is a wonderful gesture. Our office recently passed out apples for ‘Go RED for Women’ day and after a medical leave I brought a basket of grapes for the lunchroom. I added a note saying ‘Thanks a Bunch!’ The grapes disappeared quickly. Carrots as a hint? I see handing out candy as a message of ‘You’re fat already, so keep eating.’ :)
