I get up in the morning. I think that is a good start. It means that I am alive and I have another chance to do something. Hopefully good. Some people don't have that chance. They are either too ill or in the middle of a crisis. So the fact that I am able and willing to get up and work is a good thing.
Do you have a daily list of Yahoos?! A gratitude list? Of things big or small that put a smile on your face? I challenge you to write down 5 things each day that make you smile or that make you feel lucky. Put a Yeah! after each one. My list: My house is warm Yeah! The sun is shining Yeah! My daughter is happy and healthy Yeah! The robins are back Yeah! My crocuses and hyacinth are up Yeah! I have change in my pocket Yeah! Put it in a notebook and carry it with you. Read daily
So simple - it makes you feel good. Read your list out loud. It might seem silly at first but it will make you smile. So go ahead and put a grin on your face. I dare you.
