Apparently, Vitamin D helps with depression, energy and so forth. Perhaps we could all use a dose of D for some :D !<br /><br />I love your list, SP! Oh, to have all the time in the world to structure my life and live it in such a way.<br /><br />I agree with Linda. We spend too much time perfecting our lives only to miss the perfection before us. <br /><br />Smell the roses! Taste the wine!

I don't know that I'm a negative ninny, but I definitely protect myself from disappointment.<br /><br />I get very little sunshine, though. Especially in the winter, its dark when I go to work, dark when I leave. Its just now lightening up enough, but its too cold for me to care.<br /><br />I do sing. Incessantly and without my knowledge, sometimes. There's always a song in my head and it just leaks out.<br /><br />Some of these are hard, but buying warm socks and taking baths, I can do. I need to do that more.Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-6935126748661041072010-01-15T15:12:55.771-06:002010-01-15T15:12:55.771-06:00I need to incorporate more of the list into my lif...I need to incorporate more of the list into my life.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040629694490652973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-89867784894169913132010-01-15T14:58:51.677-06:002010-01-15T14:58:51.677-06:00The list has a lot of good things but there is one...The list has a lot of good things but there is one I would include and that is have your own special happy place.

Others can help with your happiness but not make it.<br />My only issue would be with #5. Otherwise, I'm content with me, and my life. I'm very fortunate right now. <br />May everyone have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-47684231839328156872010-01-15T11:50:05.484-06:002010-01-15T11:50:05.484-06:00I get way more than 20 minutes outside every day, ...I get way more than 20 minutes outside every day, no matter what the weather is. Yes, even during Hurricane Ivan -- the doggies needed a walk, so I put on the rain gear and went for a walk with them, praying a tree limb wouldn't come down on one of us.<br /><br />It isn't the big things that are happy making, it's the little ones: the sunshine, watching a puppy play, listening to a child laugh. I think too many people expect too much, look for perfection, think that being happy has to be some sort of giddiness when really happiness is peace and contentment.Maven Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191207825985417403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-62348700811320939422010-01-15T10:44:56.237-06:002010-01-15T10:44:56.237-06:00Great list!

Hopefully it'll be in the 50's for a while and I can soak up some rays walking to the mailbox instead of driving.Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-6612866463844527822010-01-15T07:04:31.460-06:002010-01-15T07:04:31.460-06:00Good list.

Does it count if I sit under my full spectrum lamp and read? :-) <br /><br />You *do* create your own happiness within you. No one else can make you happy. And that doom and gloom? Get rid of it. If there's anything at all to the law of attraction, you're not doing yourself any favors. Basically, expect the worst and you'll get it.

Yes I agree with Gigi - the lemonade thing (which I have to try better to do) and I always have hope when I buy a lotto ticket, otherwise why buy them.<br /><br />When I have off from work, I always try to get up early so I don't waste my "off" time. Some people like to sleep late, not me. LOL.<br /><br />I am greatful for my wonderful granddaughter - she has brought such joy to all our lives.<br /><br />All in all a very positive list - that was the point - and life is what YOU make of it! Thanks for posting it. Not always easy to follow all of them, but a good reminder.Pat L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11131728518949727213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-86391772140687677372010-01-15T05:54:07.852-06:002010-01-15T05:54:07.852-06:00The list is good.

You know the old saying 'when life hands you lemons you make lemonade.'<br /><br />I expect that miracle every time I buy a lottery ticket.<br />For me the waking up early and getting eight hours of sleep sort of cancel each other out. Sometimes I stay up late and I have to sleep in to get the eight hours (which I rarely do lately).gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340695421297618723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-499553443680577112010-01-15T05:01:52.281-06:002010-01-15T05:01:52.281-06:00It's a pretty good list.
