I am in a very good place in my life right now, so I decided I would spread the joy around.
Realizing and acknowledging the good things in your life helps you so much. So many people are negative about life and live to complain and focus on the bad in everything. Sure, we all have bad stuff going on in our life, but do you know what? It is up to you to change your way of thinking and not dwell on things that bring you down. Thoughts are like magnets; if you think of a few good things in your life they will bring forth more good thoughts and memories. The same goes for bad thoughts. I find I can spiral downward once I have a few things go wrong and end up in a deep, dark place that is quiet a challenge to dig myself out of.
I have a few helpful tips that will make your days happy if you follow them:
Smile at and say “Hi” to a stranger today! Pick your person wisely, but while you are out for your walk or walking to the GO train or whatever, smile and say “Hi!” to someone. It will surprise you how this simple thing can make both yours and someone else’s day!
Take time to give a genuine compliment to someone each day. Making someone feel good about themself will also make you feel happy.
Greet people with a smile and a Hi whenever you can. I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by a fabulous family, great friends, and a job working with people I love. I truly believe that greeting people with a big smile and a nice hello can put people at ease and make mostly all situations better!
Someone once told me a long time ago that every night when you are going to bed think of 5 things you are thankful for. This was one of the best tips I have ever received! When you remind yourself right before dozing off to sleep of things you are thankful for, that puts your mind in a good place and helps you fall asleep.
Please give these a try, you’ll be glad you did, trust me!
Remember….You can’t always control what happens, you can ONLY control how you react to what happens.❤️

I was talking with your Mom last might and she told me about your yellow Volkswagen. She and I have a memory of trying to get your mom to work one night and I couldn’t get your Dad’s Volkswagen into reverse to get out of the garage. There are a lot of good memories from Ajax. I enjoy reading Simply Susan and will show Jo-Anne your picture when I see her tomorrow.
Life is good and we have to appreciate what God has given us.
