Here's the thing: Some days are better than others Following are a few random things that help me find my happy place when I seem to have lost my map. Add some of yours. The more the merrier for all of us.
- Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream - Lets be honest the ice cream is optional.
- Cool, crisp sheets on your bed.
- Judge Judy. I know this may be a stretch for some but it is a guilty pleasure of mine. At the very least, for a moment, you can relish the fact that you are not airing your dirty laundry on TV and you are currently not being sued.
- Exercise. For me it is running. "It is impossible to feel sorry for yourself while you are running." A friend told me that once and I can tell you it is 100% true. There is something empowering about willing your body to move when you feel like the bottom of a shoe.
- Scented candles
- Boy shorts. They make your behind look great no matter what size you are. Pull on your big girl panties, get in front of a mirror and enjoy the fabulous!!
- Any poems written by Shel Silverstein. My personal favorite:
- Forest Gump, Lillies of the Field, The Odd Life of Timothy Green,Yours Mine and Ours (the original with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball), A Family Thing...among others.
- Big or small-a soft hand to hold.
- "I Smile" by Kirk Franklin. It may not be something that all of you are used to, but listen to it. I guarantee you will have a better outlook for today. Here's the link if the attached video doesn't play. Trust me, it is worth a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8SPwT3nQZ8
and remember.
A merry heart doeth good, like a medicine. Proverbs 17:22
