If you’re a musician living in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Nashville, or Miami,
you can volunteer through the nonprofit Musicians on Call (musiciansoncall.org) to deliver live,
in-room performances to patients undergoing treatment or unable to leave their beds. Add a
dose of joy to a healthcare facility by bringing the healing power of music to people who need it.
I don’t know the history of April Fool’s Day trickster antics but they always make me cringe. I suggest a “reverse prank” instead, where you do something really nice. Heard through the Random Acts of Kindness network about a good deeder buying lottery tickets, adding a sweet little note, and placing them onto a car door where they could not be missed. Can you imagine if you were the recipient of this delightful act and won the big Scratch Off for a cool million or so?
Have fun and bring some joy into this early spring day. It may be April Fool’s Day but don’t fool yourself! Today is about laughter rather than pulling pranks on others. Tell your coworkers a joke you enjoy; find a way to make someone who looks unhappy put a smile on their face.
