For many people this time of the year is the most depressing.  I know it has been so for me for a long time.  However, I am determined that THIS year I will work towards a more positive and happy attitude. 

     I will remember to make myself feel happier.  Smile and the world smiles with you, it is true.  When you wear a smile, people tend to smile back.  Once they’ve smiled at you they will smile at the next person they meet and so on.  Pass along a smile today.  It’s uplifting and such a small thing to do.

     I will listen to others.  Everyone needs to talk but finding a willing ear to bend is often a problem.  How was your day?  I’m listening.

     I will take time to play.  Yes, I said play.  Everyone should play.  Bring out that inner child and let him/her have some fun. 

      Hmm, there’s still one big, fluffy pile of leaves in the yard I think it’s time I joined the dogs in a good dive in the leaves.
