Just watching the One Show and they are talking about improving a person's happiness and therefore their health. One of the things is keeping a happiness diary. Listing 3 things each day - however small - that we are happy about. It has had a real effect on the guy involved. (Positive LOL)
I'm going to give it a go. I'll report back with any results in a few days.
My 3 happy things today are:
Hubby is making a delish tea for me.
I finally finished shuffling a load of data around at work.
The frost/fog this morning looked very pretty.
Someone else would have very different happy things of course - but these are mine. Of course there are plenty of negative things in my life - but I don;t need to keep a diary of them and make myself more miserable - just change them if I can and live with them if I can't.
Does anyone fancy joining me?
work went well
pictures
no-one died
lp
I have had a smile today reading the posts and realising that you lot are actualy real peeps and even the ones with hard outers are understanding and have a soft center.
I also smiled this morning at casper our cat trying to walk on frost without touching it by shaking each foot as he lifts it up.
and the third one is my 16 year old daughter giving me a lesson on what a prostitute should look like. she is a pro in a school play today.

Yay!
I've been enjoying the 'permission' to think about happy things instead of (as well as?) all the things I have to worry about. Don't get me wrong, my life isn't bad, but it sometimes seems to be a round of organising stuff, worrying about stuff, stopping stuff - largely for other people or 'the future'. Sitting back and considering even tiny things that are good or make me happy is a little treat.
Today's happy thoughts:
I got a nice tax rebate which is now earmarked for 'frivolity only'.
I was able to help a colleague who was struggling.
Tea was lovely (Spanish omelette).
