Things I do to cheer myself up when I'm feeling down

Over the years I have had to find ways to cheer myself up if I'm ever feeling low. As I think we all have had to do. Here is a list of some of my favorite things to do.


♬ I will usually listen to music. Listening to the right songs can put you in such a better mood and even bring back a whole bunch of memories. I love music and always have it on.

♣♤ Another thing I like to do that will always cheer me up is playing games. I love to play all kinds of games. Card games, board games, anything really.

☏ If I'm ever down I can always call my mom and talk to her she always knows what to say to put me in a good mood and make me feel better. Or I can text my dad and talk to him. I also have several cousins and friends that I can call or text to help brighten up my day. I am so grateful to have them in my life and that I have such a good relationship with all of them.

✄🎨 I love to do crafts and being able to do a craft and use your creativity and imagination is so soothing and can make you feel so at ease. Plus it's always fun to do a craft and see the end product when you are finished.

🚗 Going for a drive can always put my mind at ease as well. Especially if it's in the mountains or on a back road. Just to be able to take in the scenery and have time to myself or with my hubby. And to be able to be with my thoughts is a great way to think and clear my head.

🌺⚘ When I was growing up I always loved to help my Grandma weed her flower beds. And now that I have my own garden I am remembered of how much I love to be out in nature. It's such great therapy. It just makes me so happy!

📙 I love to read and reading a good book can always cheer me up. I love that when you read you can feel like you go to another place. I also love how your mind can create such wonderful images based on what you are reading.

✎ Writing or blogging is also therapeutic for me. I like to journal about things that are going on and it's nice as well that I can go back and look at some of those old memories.

👫 Spending time with my hubby always makes me happy as well. I love the times we get to spend to spend together. It's fun to have time with him and make those lasting memories as a couple.


I'd love to hear what things you guys do to cheer yourself up?

30 day 📷 challenge....Week 1

I decided it might be fun to do a 30 day photography challenge. So what I'm going to do is take a picture every day for the month of July and post them. I'm going to do them as a week review though so I will just have four posts for this month. It should be fun!! Saturday July 1st: ▲Selfie- I might just be the selfie queen! This day I decided to try something new with my hair, so I did a side bun. I think for my first attempt at it, it turned out pretty good. Sunday July 2nd: ▷Watermelon- I love watermelon, I was a little surprised though to be given watermelon at the end of our Chinese meal the other day. I must admit it was very refreshing! Monday July 3rd: ◊The sun- I just thought this was a pretty picture! Tuesday July 4th 🎆: ◈Action photo- This is a picture from the 4th of the kids running to catch the parachutes.

Is this REALLY "The Best-Kept Secret" about weight loss?

   I read a very good article in Time Magazine that focused on weight loss. In the article Kevin Hall studied 14 contestants from "The Biggest Loser." He found that during a regular season of the show the contestants lost on average of 127 pounds and each about 64% of their body fat. He also found that over time 13 of the 14 contestants that were studied gained back 66% of the weight they'd lost on the show, and four of them ended up being heavier than they were before the competition.  Now if that doesn't make you want to give up I don't know what would!  When you think about it those reality shows are really not set up for long-term success, but really a quick slim down. They make anyone watching think they can do it just as fast. And I know that I've said it before but I believe that most Americans want a quick fix and want to have everything right now. Another thing those shows have that we don't is personal trainers, dietitians, chefs and doctors al
