Pick-me-up!!!!!!!!

One sure way to make me feel happier when I'm down is to go WINDOW-SHOPPING or SHOPPING if I have money. I don't know but I am really being entertained of looking for new blouses and shoes or even toys for my kids. And then after that, I'll go to the nearest pastry shop and eat a slice of cake with coffee. After that, I will feel much lighter to think of something serious again.

Starting a lovely new book by a favourite author is always a nice thing to do which cheers me up. However, sitting and relaxing in a tidy house at the end of the day is nice, too. Especially if there's something good to eat. Things that make me feel stressed out and miserable are noise and mess. I feel really hemmed in if there's music blaring - and I can't stand living in a pigsty!

Hi jessica' the one thing that picks me up is hearing from my partner when he texts me as we don't live together it is lovely to hear from him and it lifts my spirits up no end....littleowl

Hi hessicaboardman, Yes it will have to be a phone call from my friend to cheer me up or seeing my cats do funy things like try to chase their own tail he he. Tamara

i always get many smiles from icanhascheezburger.com these are great cat photos with funny sayings. there is one for dogs, too. just looking at some of the animal photos makes me smile and laugh...especially when i have seen the same look on my own cat's face. there is one for celebrities, things which have failed, politicans.

You are right Jessica ,there are times when all of us get a little dispirited ,a little low,things are getting us down,but then it can be the smallest thing that will lift our spirits again.I love to go out and about,and the one thing that is sure to make me a happy bunny is the chance of a day out.If its not posibble to have a whole day out then just a couple of hours will do,a little look in the shops and a coffee,and just watch the world go by for a while,its great,and what a difference it can make to the day.
