Turn hating into APPRICIATION! The Shift

The last entries were about hate.  It was a hard post to write but we all need to be aware of the things that are still happening in our world today. 

Now for the next step . . . In order to move forward we need to think and remember the positive things.  Hate spreads like a disease so why cannot we change that and spread happy all over the place!  Here are a few things that bring me Joy. 

1. My friends and family – Really it is just that.  They make me laugh they make me cry.  There are there when you need them, they are there when you do not. 

2. Jamming with my iPod – Because and I dance and feel like no one is watching.  My love of the musical arts can be enjoy anywhere I go. 

3. My BlackBerry – It is a great tool to keep my life organized.  Keeps me up to date.  Helps me when I am lost, never talks back AND help me stay in communication with the friends and the family. 

4. My Pets – They are always happy, they never  judge.  They do not care what happened that morning or the day at work.  They are always up for something when everyone else is busy or lazy.  They are always ready for a cuddle when staying at home under a blanket with a movie is required. 

5. A hot and sunny day – the smell of the earth warming the air.  The brightness and richness of colours for the shining raise of sun beaming into everything.  The warmness of the air on your skin.  People outside having fun enjoying the world we live in going back to nature.  There is nothing like it. 

6. Tempo on CBC Radio 2 – My daily douse of the greats.  Hosted by Julie Nesrallah, Canadian mezzo-soprano, guides us through all the classical delights from 9:00 until 1:00 every week day.  It is amazing what thoughts and emotions this music can manifest (even if you are a robot or say that you have no heart)

7. Tea – This was started with my Nana and her British ways of tea time.  Now I love it.  Tea is so warming and comforting.  So many styles, flavours and traditions to explore in every cup. 

8. HOT people! – Be it celebrities, athletes, or Models hot people make me happy.  I was going to try and narrow it down but there are just to many people that I think are hot inside and out.  Call me shallow but makes me happy. 

9. Soup – A day without soup is like a day without sunshine to me.  You can miss a day without the sun but it is not as bright or warm as with sun.  For me it is the same with soup. 

What brightens your day or keeps you going when the going gets tough?  Write a couple things in the comments box.
