Thrilled and excited with life! Because I choose to be. Seek that which will make you smile and keep it close for when you cannot. HMLD *~*
(Without going into the definitions of depression and all the things you can do to help pull yourself out of it, besides drugs, if drugs are necessary…)
Surround yourself with colors that brighten your life. Hot pinks. Bright oranges. Royal purples. Yellows. Lime greens. White. Soft colors of the rainbow work well too. You may love grey, however the brain prefers lighter, brighter colors to enhance moods.
Keep pictures, or items near at hand that bring a smile. A warm blanket or snugly bathrobe for when you need to curl up. Make sure you’ve music available that peps you up or make your own. Gets your hips swinging, your hands to dancing and a laugh to your throat.
Make Some Music
Walk outside and look to the tops of the trees. Looking up brings the spirit up. Write love words and happy words and funny words.
There’s ample ways to lift your smile, your spirit, your outlook on life. Choose a dozen and do a little dance.
YOU are the one deciding whether you’re smiling or frowning, laughing or drowning in tears.
What’s your favorite thing to do to cheer yourself up? Will you share it here and share the post? I’d love to know and so would others. Who knows whom you’ll inspire to smile.

Sometimes, it just ain’t!
