Not every day is going to deliver sunshine and smiles perfectly on command.
Sometimes you just have to make your own.
Here, it helps to have a list of your favorite things handy.
Reason being, if you don’t know what makes you happy, it is harder to turn your frowns upside down.
It is also better to think about this in advance rather than waiting for the next frown to arrive.
Even a short list is better than no list.
Say, for example, that you ordered tropical temperatures and freeze-dried mealworms. But your large shell-less waitress got your order wrong (again) and you woke up to chilly drizzle and lettuce leaves.
Okay. How it starts isn’t necessarily how it ends.
You quickly refer to your “happy things” list.
You notice it says “blueberries” right at the top. Great.
Right then, you see your large shell-less Grandma approaching. And what does she have in her hand? A lovely large juicy blueberry – just for you!
Frown? What frown?
