Time to be HAPPY!


TEN THINGS THAT CAN HELP YOU BE HAPPY!
By Julie Hibbard (a very happy person)




1. Don't own anything you wouldn't give away. Seriously, if someone comes to my house and likes something I have, nothing makes me happier than giving it to them.
2. Be honest about who you are. Don't try to be what you THINK someone else wants you to be. And, when you mess up, admit it.
3. Be forgiving. Always. It will not only make you happy, it will add years to your life. Be sure to forgive yourself too.
4. Keep your room clean. Messy bed, messy head. Try to keep your car and your desk clean too. Make a trip to Goodwill!
5. Don't obsess over things. Seriously, there is a solution for just about every situation you will ever be in. Just find it.
6. Stay out of debt. If you don't need anything, don't even GO to Target. Pay cash for things. Debt free is so sweet.
7. Get over it. Get over THAT person. Grieve it and let go. Don't ever cry over ANYONE who doesn't want to be with you. THEIR loss. Really.
8. Read. Novels, Biographies, Self-help, The Bible, mysteries, the comics, the newspaper! Read! Read anything and everything!
9. Change what you don't like. Your living situation, your weight, your job, your relationships, etc. You CAN do what you want! Be your own knight in shining armor. Rescue yourself.
10. Be nice. Be friendly. SMILE! Remember people's names and birthdays. Say kind things. Make other people happy! It will make you SO happy.
That's my 2cents for the day.
I am just SO happy right now. Today, and everyday...life is good.
And I wanted to share...
