Happiness

I think it's important to always try and be happy.

Sometimes that can seem extraordinarily difficult and, believe me, after the last few years I've had, I know the feeling. But I've decided that enough is enough.

What's the point in going through my life unhappy when I could just as easily see the positive side to things? You only get one shot at this and I'm tired of wasting it.

So I try to smile.

I try to compliment someone everyday, or even just greet someone who I wouldn't necessarily have greeted before.

The other day at the bus stop I smiled at a rather sinister looking individual who no one else would look at and he turned out to be the most lovely person. I felt great for having done that and it put me in a good mood for the rest of the day, and all because of that one little smile.

That's very important too, I think.

You should always do your very best to be kind to others.

You never know how difficult their life is or even if they are just having an awful day, and that one little smile and greeting could be just what they need to cheer them up.

So try to smile, whether it's just for your own sake or for someone else.

Talk to scary looking people at the bus stop (but you probably should be careful doing that....)

Tell someone their scarf is lovely even if you wouldn't use it to dry the floor with because honestly - and I can promise you this - they will appreciate it and I can guarantee that you will feel better for having done so!

Do it.

You won't regret it.

I'm going for now but I'll be back soon.

Keep smiling.
