Make Someone Happy

Ever get that, "Not so Pleasant" feeling - you know, the one that makes you feel like complaining about everything in your life? I will admit that even fantastically creative, stylish, and talented (not to mention good looking) people can get down in the dumps, but allowing this state of mind to prevail over an extended period of time can make you, well, come off a bit bitchy. When your ray of sunshine turns into a cloud of doom, people start to notice and may avoid you, even making you the topic of their own complaints. Now, none of us want to breed a sub society of whiners and complainers so let me suggest a little exercise that I find helpful when I'm feeling a little "blue." Try making a list of ten things that make you happy, or that you are thankful for. For example:

I am Thankful for:

1. The fact that black never goes out of style.
2. Cute boys who work in coffee shops and flirt with you when you order your latte'.
3. Pearls.
4. Really good cheese.
5. Well made vodka martinis with blue cheese olives, slightly dirty, shaken not stirred.
6. Intellegent conversations with creative, talented, like-mided individuals.
7. Nice looking guys with really cute buns.
8. People who haven't forgotten what good manners are and realize what good taste is.
9. Masterfully crafted books which can be read a hundred times over and, even on the ninety ninth reading can present you with something new and intersting.
10. Sunglasses large enought to hide crows feet and hangovers.

Ah, see? I feel better already!
