Just for Fun-Paths to Happiness
With the need for a little self-management and attitude adjustment here are ten ways to make yourself happy:
10. Tell someone that they look nice. The reaction is usually surprising and elicits a reciprocation.
9. Watch little kid soccer. Big clump of kids with the ball somewhere in the middle. Goalies picking dandelions. Little kid baseball is a close second.
8. Reconnect with a friend. Talk as if you saw each other last week.
7. Drive somewhere. With no destination or no time limit. Just drive and look. Avoid the 215.
6. Sing something. Late 70's disco or bad country music work well for this purpose.
5. Play cards or a board game. No wagering allowed.
4. Eat ice cream and drink soda. Ditch the uber-serious Starbucks or single malt scotch and pull into a Sonic for a root beer float.
3. Clean something. The older and more disheveled the better. Attack that file cabinet that you have been looking at for the last three years.
2. Plant something. Put a bean in a styrofoam cup. Add dirt and water. Name the bean. Or more traditionally, buy some plants and put them in the front yard. Avoid the $1.00 palm trees at Star. Call me for details.
1. Buy a wiener dog. Better yet, get a couple. Small brown torpedoes of love. Equal doses of lazy and frantic play.
