Morning,
everyone! I’m here today for the Bloghop of Joy! hosted by myself and Kyra Lennon!
In these cold,
winter months, everything can seem kind of ... bleak. However, every now and
again, something small will happen that makes us smile again. It could be a random
memory, something you see on TV, overhearing something that makes you laugh out
loud - just that one thing that makes the clouds part, and the sunshine appear
again. We're not talking life-changing moments, just the little things that
inexplicably make us smile.
All you have to
do to be a part of this happy hop is sign up on the Linky List, and on March
1st, post your list of joy - with a minimum of five things that put a spring
back in your step!
Here’s my list:
Loved Ones
Nothing cheers
me up on a bad day like Youngest wearing underpants on his head, pretending he’s
Bane. Or Oldest coming home telling me he’s the only one in class who paid
attention in reading comprehension, and got a house point. Or Hubby telling me
I’m beautiful even when I don’t feel like I am, and I’m worrying about my
weight. Or Mum calling to ask how my week’s been and if I’m okay. Or a quick
email from one of my wonderful friends saying “hi”.
Sweet Treats
When I’m feeling
down, one of my go-to things is treats; be it a bar of chocolate, a couple of
cookies or a slice of cake. That quick sugar rush is sure to chase away the
blues.
Muscular Men
Being an avid
wrestling fan, I also have a soft spot for well-toned guys. There’s no easier
way to bring a smile to my face than with a picture of some hot, shirtless man.
Tuesdays are always my favourite day of the week, because I get my wrestling
fix!
TehInterwebz
Sometimes the
Internet can be a dark scary place full of trolls and entitled people with
challenging opinions. And other times, it’s utterly silly, and fully of insane
stuff sure to make you smile. Need a quick mood booster? Check out 9gag.com – you might come across something hilarious, like
a smiling lamb! Or if that fails, there’s always http://heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa.com/ -
played on an endless loop of happiness!
Losing Myself in Something
Sometimes kids,
husbands, writing, bills and other responsabilities all get a little too much,
and you need an escape for a few minutes. In those times, there’s nothing like
losing yourself in something; be it a round of Candy Crush Saga, A Chapter
of The Spook's Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch, or making ASOIAF dolls on http://www.dolldivine.com/index.html.
Anything to lose myself in for 5-10 minutes, and escape the stresses of life,
so I can go back to tackling everything.
These are just a
few things I go to to chace the blues away. What about you? Be sure to check
