! warning

You think about 60,000 thoughts a day. It's up to you to make sure that you don't use up 59,999 with negative, cynical thinking.

So next time, before you start to think something negative, just think about that...and this: Your brain has 100 billion cells --- and each of these little babies is connected to at least 20,000 other cells. The variety of potential combinations of all these is more multitudinous than the number of molecules existing in the entire universe! So, if you have that many different combinations of brain cells to choose from, why not try a new combo today?

I have owned this little book for quite a while now and I love it as a quick fix, picker-upper... it helps during those moments when my mind is flooded with negative thinking.

(I don''t know about you, but I need all the help available when it comes to positive thinking).

Btw, that's a lot of thoughts to be thinking each day. :)

six uninteresting things that make me happy (tagged by kate)

I was tagged by Kate to list six uninteresting things that make me happy. Though I am not very good at these tag things, I will attempt this one. I am not going to tag anyone, but if you would like to do this, please do. Not listed in any order and there are so many things I love, it was hard to pick only six.


1.) Flowers (Especially the ones I can get to grow. This is one of my roses that has bloomed this year).


2.) That first cup of coffee in the morning.


3.) Nature (all of it. I took this photo last summer).


4.) Old things (I love the secrets that are embedded deep in the soul of 'old things'. I bought this lovely piece of copper from an old man in Turkey, who was a vendor on the street).


5.) Hats (All kinds - One of my many hats).


6.) VW Bugs (though I do not own one now, it was my favorite car. I’m thinking I want another one, they are so much fun to drive, ...and they make me smile).

What makes you smile???
