From the book 'Everyday Happy 365 ways to a better you'. My project for 2013
Notice the goodness in your world and it will lift your spirits
Instant pass! Even when I am at my gloomiest, I can still appreciate the goodness, even if it is gallows humor.
I regularly practice random acts of kindness or engage strangers I find crying in the street, until they are distracted enough to continue on their day. The kindness and goodness comes back to me and I send it back out there and it makes a continuous loop (I think that is a tautology, a loop is continuous anyway)
But is not all hearts and flowers, sometimes I am a complete bitch too.
