What brings JOY to your daily life or LIFTS YOUR SPIRITS?

September 4, 2008

Today has been a VERY aggravating day for me with computer problems

and financial problems. Sometimes I get upset and forget to be

thankful for the blessings I have. I would like to list some things

that LIFT MY SPIRITS AND BRING ME JOY IN LIFE! lIFE IS SHORT - WE

NEED TO FIND SOME JOY AND HAPPINESS IN OUR DAILY LIVES. I'm trying to

re-train my brain to think on positive things! Maybe if each of us

make a list of the joys in our life, it will help all of us to think

on happier topics, and surely this can only help us to feel a little

better! So here are some things that make me happy and put a smile

on my face:

1. my 2 little chihuahuas, Buster & Cheeto, always make me laugh

with their antics and they are unconditionally loving - a joy to have

around!

2. playing the piano for the church and choir - very fulfilling and

rewarding

3. having an understanding husband

4. going thrift store shopping or to yard sales looking for bargains

5. having a comfortable bed and a quiet home to retreat to when life

gets to be too much

6. A beautifully sunny day - not too hot or cold - the beauty of

nature - I especially feel relaxed by lakes and springs, not by

turbulent water like oceans or waterfalls.

7. I'm looking foward to a visit from my dear brother coming from

Colorado in a few days.

8. Going out to eat with my husband - I love it when I don't have to

cook.

9. Teaching piano to my newer adult students who are very motivated

and enthusiastic.

OK,now would anyone else like to post some of their happy thoughts

and activities? We can all enjoy those and lift our spirits!
