habits we all should practice

I lifted this idea from stuffandjunk -

A list of good habits we should all adopt. Especially me. (aren't I just Miss High And Mighty?)

1. Stop watching the news. Nothing good can come of it. Obviously I am speaking to my peers and not business people - I am not naive, but I do believe that it's all rubbish. Read a good newspaper and formulate your own ideas about the world, but stay away from the television.
OR
Watch the World News, which I believe, presents things clearly, concisely and without an anchor person - this is very very refreshing.

2. Take a deep breath and make a commitment to be nice to people. Just stop what you are doing and hold the door for someone, smile at an elderly person, bring flowers to someone who could use cheering up. Once you start, you'll find yourself being nice all the time.

3. Rinse your nasal passages. Really. You think I'm joking but this is wonderful stuff. If you've read my archives you know that I have been addicted to Afrin in the past. But no more!
Saline for me. Anyway, it seems to help hold a cold at bay and help me get well faster.

4. Drive a little slower. Stop being in such a hurry.

Finally, and most importantly if you are going to try to feel happier each day, I would suggest that change your perspective. Do you feel wronged by someone? Think of their side of things. Angry about something? Try to see the issue in a different light. Doesn't it seem that we walk around being agitated a lot of the time? Take a moment and try to think of situations differently. I am a great advocate for the other side of the story.

All right.
I'm done with the pontificating.
And I'm going to load the car.
We're off to the country.
Where there are animals.
But no internet.

When I come home I expect to see lots of comments, (as well as more photos from the delightful Paola ) and that you'll all have behaved.

If there's any trouble around here, someone get in touch with Poppy, or Badger, they'll straighten it out.
