I was just thinking last night that no matter how depressed or low I feel, there are some things..the smallest things...that never fail to make me day...they never fail to bring a smile to my face. Writing ones that are on my mind right now..feel free to add some of your own!

1. A small kid laughing
2. A couple holding hands...or just enjoying being with each other
3. A phone call from an old friend (i got 2 phone calls from 2 of my friends after a loooong time, so thats why this is here)
4. Laburnum in full bloom (this is WOW...really)
5. Dancing!!!!!! (the best anti-depressant, stress-buster...everything)
6. A long, hot shower in winter and a long, cold shower in summer 
7. Seeing your boyfriend's name on the caller id when your phone rings (yes, i know  )
8. When your feeling low and you open your refrigerator to see that there is one tub of icecream that you'd forgotten about (Normally, these are the things i DONT forget, but somehow, i did, and yesterday, it just made me smile like nothing else can!!)
9. Smiling at random strangers (try it, it works)
10. Seeing new mail in your inbox (and i mean REAL mail, not spam!)
11. Just knowing that this is life, no matter how hard it seems at times, it will all pass...there is always hope..there will always be a new day...and there is always a smile after all the tears...and the tears after all are what make each smile so precious :)

This might sound very cheesy or philosophical or whatever...but for all those of you who are feeling low or something doesnt seem right in your lives...or even if everything seems wrong...just hang in there...do what you like the best...spend time with yourself...read an old book, listen to some music...and trust me, no one can bring you down...we cant let others rule our lives...we are responsible for our own happiness...its about time we take charge.

If ur still reading this, thank you for you patience :)
