Today was gray, rainy, and somewhat dreary. I don't usually mind such days, but there are times when sort of pile up, or come when you are just hungry for rays of sunshine. Anyway, I went around the downstairs and starting lighting some candles. I was surprised at how much a little candlelight and fragrance had lifted my spirit!
It called for making a note in this "Happy Thoughts" blog, today.
Of course, these little things are "quick fixes", and in the long run one of the things that gives me a sense of well being is doing something positive for my health. I say
one thing, because overall happiness is truly a compilation of a number of lifestyle choices we make, including how we relate to other people, but starting out with better health choices is certainly an important part of life.
On that note my son and I made some smoothies this past weekend, and I fixed a raw broccoli salad for dinner last night. It is the baby steps that matter in the beginning, isn't it?
How's your health? Good I hope. And if it could be better I encourage you to do some of the "little things" suggested today to brighten your outlooks and feeling of wellbeing.

They say keeping busy is a good antidote for depression, whether that's true or not I have been keeping busy.
Here is one thing I've been doing: designing on Zazzle:
create & buy custom products at
Zazzle
I have also written loads of lenses at Squidoo on a varied number of projects. Lagging behind, but needing attention has been writing posts for my websites and maintaining them- they needed a lot of background attention this year.

"Dedicate your life to God, and also choose carefully who you dedicate your love to."
The love we have is God's gift to us, what we do with it is our gift to God.
