If it makes you happy...

Hey dudes!

Simple fun little exercise. I'm trying to retrain my brain from being usually negative to more positive. It's hard work, but I'm making great progress. When I have one of my mood dips, I try to think of happier things. So here's a list of things that make me blissfully happy:

- Playing with Rogue
- New shoots coming up out of the ground
- Watery morning sunshine breaking through the clouds (just happened, absolutely beautiful)
- The sound of the ocean
- The smell of a clean, breezy beach
- The sound of Rogue's feet pounding on the ground as she runs around and plays and her jingling bell
- A nice hot moffee in the morning
- Talking to you guys, getting comments and having conversations
- Meeting new people
- Dancing at Devilles
- Being with my good friends on a night out
- Starting a new artwork
- FINISHING a new artwork! :D :D :D
- The smell of oil paint and turpentine
- The sound of paint brush on canvas
- Making a pretty tune on my keyboard
- Singing jazz
- Singing together with my family
- The feel of the earth beneath my feet when I walk outside
- Being very still and watching the birds go about their business around me, and they don't mind that I'm there at all, as if I'm part of the scenery
- Talking to our magpie friends
- Listening to good music
- Lying down in bed after a busy day, knowing I've done lots of good work
- My pretty little watering can
- Strawberry lipgloss
- Cuddling my nieces and nephews
- Hanging out with my sisters and brothers
- Talking to my Dad in the car when we're driving, going to the beach with him
- Rogue being an unpredictable doofus (she just had kitty litter stuck in her mouth... HOW?!)

Well, I think that's it for now. Try writing your own list, it's nice to notice things that make you happy cause we tend to focus on the negative so much, we miss the little positives. ... I sound like a Hallmark card. Hmm...

Shit! Fuck! Tits! Balls! There we go. I feel better now. Oh, I guess I should add that one:

- Swearing like a trooper

What I plan to do today:

- Draw some pictures. Fun pictures, it doesn't matter how they turn out.
- Plan Devan's painting and send him the concept sketches
- Watch Calamity Jane with the subtitles and sing along
- Play Sims 2 Apartment Life on my Laptop, playing my brand spankin' new family: Dickon Sowerby and Mary Lennox ;)
- Try not to fall asleep
- Make myself fried tofu satay with rice noodle
- Hang out with family at some point
- Test out my new hair rollers and hairspray


That's not too much, I think that's a nicely productive day, don't you?

Ammendments:

- Watch Heroes 3 episode 10
- Do some graphics for theloudestvoice

Fucking shit.

Dad's decided that he's cleaning the bathroom. TODAY. So all my plans are fucking moot now, cause I have to go through my stuff to make sure he doesn't throw out anything important. >:[

Bathroom licked! Dad is pleased!

Deep sea elbow squid!!!

THIS SQUID IS SO FUCKING COOL IN MOTION!!!
