grow Daily Joys

We have a contact who wants to talk about launching Daily Joys with a bunch (100 or so) of Nursing students! It was really exciting, and we were telling someone about it, and she mentioned that writing down everyday joys could be especially good for staying at the hospital. I can’t even imagine how great I would feel if Daily Joys was really helping sick people. :-)

We have 66 non-test users on Daily Joys! Nothing about 66 is particularly exciting, it’s just nice to know the site is still growing (albeit slowly).

The site had been getting a steady stream of about 15-20 visits a day with some spikes here and there, but it seems to have slowed down a bit. I want to send out an e-mail to everyone who’s signed up for Daily Joys sometime soon to encourage them to go on, especially because with the holidays, it’s supposed to be a time of happiness and joy, but it can be stressful, so maybe recording all the joyful and happy moments can help make it more joy and less stress. I’ve been trying to live by this in general, because it’s amazing when you step back and realize how many things we stress over that really don’t matter in the long run.

But I’ve rambled on long enough. For anyone who reads this, regardless of whether you sign up for Daily Joys, I wish you more joy and less stress for both the holidays and otherwise.

We’re doing group projects in my business class. My group is me, my fiance and another guy. The other guy liked Daily Joys, so we’re doing that for our business project! Since this is for a class, it should mean more time to work on and do research for Daily Joys!

Right now, we’re working on improving it and planning for how to grow it.
