What cheers you up when you are down?!?

This always makes me smile:

I wish I was a glow worm,
a glow worm's never glum..
cause how can you be miserable
when the sun shines out your bum

What makes other people smile when they need a bit of a boost?

Mine is probably updating my spending spreadsheet and although I feel pants for a short while, seeing that I'm spending money where I really shouldnt. seeing the colours go from red to black always brings a little sheepish smile through the tears.

That and giving myself a good talking to, a mental slap and saying pull yourself together woman, you spent it now its time to pay it all back!

I make myself giggle when I act like a tyrant

Used to be treating myself to a chinese takeaway, whereas now updating my spreadsheets, working out budgets and seeing my debt going down cheers me up, as does applying for freebies over on the freebies board, nice to get pressies for nothing!!

At the moment it's cuddles from my son (he never used to be a cuddly child!) and counting the pennies in my penny pot and watching the figure rise

Sleep, krispy creme donuts, chocolate, mashed potato, gazing at pictures of Tim Burgess. I'm shallow aren't I?

Going to the gym helps me to feel better. I can take out all my frustration on the treadmill / cross trainer or whatever and it also gives me time to think about things and clear my head. The best bit is after the workout I have a lovely hot shower with some yummy aromatherapy shower gel from boots called bliss.(Its orange blossom and bergamot) I then get dressed and slowly dry my hair. Then I have a cuppa coffee and relax and gaze out across the mountains and the bay. The water always seems so calming. When I get home I feel peaceful and at one with the world.

I have just started swimming and am going about 3 times a week. That seems to make me happy at the moment. It is 30 minutes out for myself, I am getting fitter and I actually do not think at all. I just swim and concentrate on that. Otherwise, unless I am asleep, I am thinking constantly, usually about how to get extra money to pay off my holiday or credit cards.

My Mountain Bike, I live near some great landscapes which I can bike on, when the debt thing gets too much for me 'I get out' for a while, leave problems behing for a few hours and the exercise helps me sleep alot better.

Money never made me happy, it never will.

Liked you poem at the top!
