Happiness manifesto from the BBC!
HAPPINESS MANIFESTO
Do these for two months and see the difference they make!
1. Get physical
Exercise for half an hour three times a week.
2. Count your blessings
At the end of each day, reflect on at least five things you're grateful
for.
3. Talk time
Have an hour-long uninterrupted conversation with your partner or
closest friend each week.
4. Plant something
Even if it’s a window box or pot plant. Keep it alive!
5. Cut your TV viewing by half
6. Smile at and/or say hello to a stranger
At least once each day.
7. Phone a friend
Make contact with at least one friend or relation you have not been in
contact for a while and arrange to meet up.
8. Have a good laugh at least once a day
9. Every day make sure you give yourself a treat
Take time to really enjoy this.
10. Daily kindness
Do an extra good turn for someone each day.
Be happy!!

Off topic alert!!!
Floor boards scrubbed - knees swollen and hurt like hell!! I've put the woodstain on half the room too! It may have taken nearly two years but we'll be in that bedroom by the end of the week if it kills me!
It's going to be all asian style, I collect hand woven rugs whenever they're bidless on ebay or at the auction rooms, and I have a massive handmade sari patchwork bedspread - plus loads of other stuff I've picked up ready. Every night I go to sleep and every morning it'll remind me there are other ways of living that include smiling at strangers and great big waves to the lads in the kebab shop when we pass.

sounds very peaceful and serene! i am about to finish painting the bedroom myself - but don't think i'll have it together enough to sleep in tonight. a nice calm dusty rose. i'm going to get new curtains and rearrange the furniture a bit. keeps me occupied and out of trouble!
shall we add redecorating the bedroom to the list? LOL
