It makes me smile…

I believe that everybody should have a list of memories that make themselves smile. It can be a person, a situation, a picture, a thought, an incident, a pet, a drink, a place, a taste, a music, a smell, …. anything! 

Then, when you are feeling blue, give a look at your list. It is a fantastic therapy! 

Here are some items of my list, starting with what the pictures I used on this website menu are showing:  

• watch the skyline of Atlanta, 
• learn new things in books and collections, 
• have lunch with friends, 
• laugh with that  3 wonderful ladies, 
• play with our cats, 
• watch the weird DragonCon parade, 
• visit Rio de Janeiro.

And also:

• feel all the love I have for my husband,
• admire the beauty of  the flowers in the Spring and the leaves in the Fall,
• watch old Monty Python movies,
• remember Elton John, Billy Joel, Carol King, Phil Collins, Tom Jobim, Paul McCartney, Caetano Veloso, and other great concerts I had seen,
• remember our wedding party, and how people were there,
• concerts at Chastain Park,
• dinners with my girlfriends,
• eat chocolate cake in the car, parked in a driveway, in a rainy day,
• feel the sun,
• see dogs fetching/swimming/running in the park,
• “hunting” covered bridges/water falls/halloween decorations,
• Cirque du Soleil presentations;
• enjoy the applications on my iPhone,
• eat popcorn while watching the summer rain from the porch,
• take a nap in a hammock,
• sail,
• be hugged by my husband,
• watch the cats play with each other,
• eat brownie with hot chocolate melted over vanilla ice cream and decorated with nuts and a cherry on maraschino…

hummm…. good idea!
