I don't always get around to give you a hug in your hour of need or missed your post. So if thats 'you' this one is just for you. <'>

 

You are never alone.

Send a positive hug here...... or a laugh or tears but lots of hug's to wash away the blues.

Just adding.

 

'Beating the blue's'

 

Make a happy list 'things to do that are therapeutic.

 

Mine is night walks and sunrise jog to pool and swim swim swim the blues away. Music therapy, sitting alone in church with my ipod praise and worship let the healing tears flow.. 'Fasting' makes me happy too. Or a great day out wearing joggers catching the ferry walking through botanical gardens having a cappucino ipod and listening to 'mentor messages max 20 min talks' and browsing the art gallery. Avoiding crowds wherever possible- must feel positive - inspiring music - tears may flow but easily camouflaged with sunnies.

 

Do a short course - pull out the cookbooks cook up a storm 'literally' food fight book a massage or pedicure - new cd's - set some new goals - step out of your comfort zone - do dance lessons. Just keep going.... get out get those joggers on.

 

I posted this song in my counting my blessings thread. My day out looks like this. 'Sunrises' my happy place 'swimming.

 

Hopefully this will help you remember 'your' happy place its within you- walking helps.

 

Have fun ...... help someone worse off...

 

Fran waffle over "I think" or did I forget something - oh yes

 

love Fran

Hi RQ. <'>

 

 

I know a lady that had a hip replacement. She said the bruising after was the part that really took time to heal. Once she recovered she was thrilled to be able to exercise again - with no more pain.

awesome same to all <'>

 

Well, I just heard this happy song. Every time I hear it - it always makes me stop what I am doing and think of how much I love my kids. My daughter used to dance around in her seat in the car and give me this big cheezy grin while it often played in the car and she would point at me a hand flappy jiggle to it. she always make me laugh - I was always amazed at how many different faces they could pull between them - in sequence from shock to hysteria

 

I found a really cute cartoon to go with it as the original is borrrrrring. Better still listen to it with your eyes closed or gazing into the garden - it will make you feel happy.

Its just interesting reading some of the comments on this. Quite a lot of mixed reactions. I thought it was funny watching all the people quicken there pace to walk by if he got too close.

 

But it highlights how many people love hugs by the number of views and comments. Especially in this thread.
