We all have few days in life
where we feel low without any reason. Everything seems to be stuck and stagnant
making us irritated. Whenever I am going through such days I make a happiness
list – a list of things that make me smile despite all odds. This helps me
count my blessings and is an immediate mood changer.

- I am hale and hearty (TOUCHWOOD!!)
- I have a job
- Hope lives in my heart
- I am loved for what I am by a selected few people around me.
- I achieved all the goals I had set for 2011 (Double Touchwood !!) and I have set small but meaningful goals for 2012 too.
- I have began to take baby steps towards the biggest dream of my life.
- I know for sure I can and I will make a difference.
- I am able to give the gift of smiles to many people around me.
- Though currently I am besieged by the grey clouds I can clearly see the silver lining amongst them. I am surrounded by some wonderful books and CDs which remind me that no matter what this too shall pass while I hold my horses tight and enjoy this ride.
Try doing this for yourself once....Its an instant mood changer!!
:-)Very sweet Privy.Let me try this too..:-)

Hi
ReplyDeleteHave you heard the song 'My Favorite Things' from the musical The Sound Of Music...This reminds me of that ....'When the door bites, when the bee stings, when I am feeling sad, I simply remember my fav things and then I dont feel so bad ' :D
Hello,
DeleteOh yes...that song is truly unforgettable. And it was so sweet of you to compare my post with you...I am touched. Thank you so much.
I know it sounds cliche but I love Bobby McFerrin as he goes....
ReplyDeleteHere is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
No no...it does not sound cliche - rather it sounds wonderful everytime we listen to this song :o)
Delete"I am able to give the gift of smiles to many people around me."
ReplyDelete-tops it all.wish i meet ppl like you daily which is not happening.
A very good post to make up my very weird Morning.Thanks much
AMEN - to that wish of yours. Thank you so much, am glad I could make up your weird morning.
DeleteVery true,
DeleteI too do this, whenever I am feeling low, I look at what I have at the moment, and start thanking God for my breath, which I do not know when it began, my health, my family, friends and all the little things I am able to do - I get instantly charged with this! and thanks for reminding me again !
Thanks so much Angela for being here...I am glad ;)

DeleteWow Privy, thats an awesome idea!! I've always been meaning to make such a list that I cud look into whnvr I'm down; guess I'm just too lazy n even mor lazier when I'm down :)
ReplyDeleteI'm too curious - "I have began to take baby steps towards the biggest dream of my life"... ??? :)
Am sure this list wud make anyone's day.. brilliant idea Privy :)
Hey Thanks so much for such beautiful words :)
DeleteI know sometimes laziness tends to get over you letting you not do anything but then dreams are the fuel which drive our passion. BTW curiosity killed the cat so..I will let you keep guessing about my biggest dream !!
Nice way to recollect those little sweet happiness that life has bestowed on us. And baby steps towards your dream...have you started writing your book?:)
ReplyDeleteReally true words, life actually has been very kind of us if we notice it closely.
DeleteNow now....I am not revealing more about that dream :-)
Amongst all the lists that we have to make each day, for work or otherwise, this might turn out to be one of the most intersting ones. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. :)
