🌞Hey’all - Good morning! Let’s twirl into Thursday with light steps and a joyful heart.

Thursdays deserve a playful twist and today, we’re starting with a little spark of joy. It’s time for the GIF Gratitude Pulse! Here’s how it works: pick a funny or heartwarming GIF (the sillier, the better), and send it to a friend with a short note “This made me smile, thought of you!” Then gently nudge them to send one back.

It’s a small digital gesture, but the ripple effect can be surprisingly heartwarming. Laughter travels fast, and so does kindness. Whether it’s a dancing cat, a goofy penguin, or a hugging cartoon - your GIF might be the smile someone needed today.

Let the giggles begin. Who will you send your gratitude GIF to first? 😊
