Feel Good

9-15-09

When you are having a bad day, what makes you feel good? Are there simple things that make you happy or is it big gestures that change your attitude? Do you enjoy watching a guilty pleasure TV show? Do you like to eat chocolate? Do you play with your dog or cat? Do you work out? I think I just named all the things that I like to do to put me in a better mood. There is something else that makes me feel good. Comments from kids. Kids are funny. They say whatever is on your mind and they are very honest. They like my clothes (see previous blogs) and they tell me. They notice when I have a cut on my finger or a mosquito bite on my leg and they tell me. Sometimes I don't like what they tell me but other times they make me feel good. Today after I had finished teaching Kindergarten a small little girl came up to me with this big grin on her face and said, "You're gorgeous!" I was taken back at first and then slightly embarrassed. Then I returned her beautiful smile and said, "Thank you sweetie, so are you." She made me feel really good. I will continue to remember that sweet smile every time I have a bad day.

Have a blessed evening and thanks for reading my 23rd blog!
