Even if you feel like nothings “right” and something is incredibly sad. If you can’t control the situation and you can’t change the situation, change your mood.
Here a five (5) songs that I listen too when I’m perfectly content, even when I should be falling apart. “I should warn you, that I’ll be just fine”.
Some people pray to God, I pray to music…
I decided to go with the muggle questions this week. I just really liked them, haha!
Muggle Questions (of a more philosophical bent this week):
Is intelligence or wisdom more useful?
Hmmm…Woo, another good one! I think Wisdom may be, just a little bit more useful than Intelligence. While intelligence may be useful, sometimes, depending on the type of intelligence. There are different kinds of intelligence.
How important is play in living a healthy and fulfilling life?
Oh the most important! You need to be able to play still, always. If you don’t play, life just becomes dreary. The play doesn’t even have to cost anything either!
Is happiness just chemicals flowing through your brain or something more?
I think it’s both. I think you can also chose to be happy. Kind of like that “fake it till you make it” kind of thing. Some days I need to make myself be happy.
GRATITUDE SECTION (Always optional)
Feel free to share some photos, an image, a meme, a story or incident or a poem that helps you feel grateful.
November is really not that far away,lol…Even if it’s a totally horrible outcome. December, which means Christmas, is just the next month.
I think everyone knows within themselves when they are happy. I believe when you are happy, you are not spiteful or mean. You can’t be. When you are happy, you don’t want to lose that, so you’re not going to do crass and mean spirited things. I believe when you are truly happy, you want to spread it around. Which is why I do believe at the moment, there are a lot of unhappy people. The Right are unhappy, because they are finding their bigoted and racist ways are under threat. They can’t be who they are. Even though they are horrible, they think they can be who they are anymore. Then you’ve got the Left, who are unhappy, because they are not being listened too. By those who were chosen to listen to them.
Not only that but those who are supposed to listen to them, are now trying to make them the “criminals”.
Have you ever had a moment with someone, or they’ve said one line. And it’s made you do a whole 180 with them? You look at them differently, you realise how toxic they are? Now have you been just as shock when someone has not had a problem with that person has said. I just had this happen recently, where one friend pretty much insulted another to their face and this person liked the comment made?
It did make me wonder when people are truly happy, do they allow people to speak to them like that? One of the reasons I never got unhappy about my ex-friends accusations, was because I had started to distance myself enough for me to realise how good I had it without them.
Have you ever had a situation when you are so happy with your life that it doesn’t matter when someone insults you? Or tried to hurt you?
The Rules:
Thank the Selector:
I would very much like to thank “Life Lessons From Around the Dinner Table”. I am very honoured to be nominated for such an award. I absolutely love to bring happiness and share happiness with those around me. So hopefully through this nomination, I can share some secret to my happiness. Or you think of these if you are feeling down.
Post 2 quotes for the dedicated Topic of the Day, “Happiness”
Sometimes the things that make me happiest, are not quotes about happiness, necessarily. This one makes me grin every single time.
Not only do I love the Dalai Lama, but I also absolutely agree with this quote. Suffering from anxiety, a lot of the times I have recognised that it is my own head. I have ways to get myself back together again. So sometimes yes, it is up to us and our actions to ‘get happy’. The moment you stop relying on others to make you happy. It’s freeing! It’s still nice to have people who can make you happy, but do it for yourself first.
Select 3 bloggers to take part in ‘3-2-1 Quote Me!’
I’m going to tag three people who I don’t think have recevied this one, or if they have. It’s been a while, but also because they’re blog makes me happy in some way or another. But if you want to do it as well…Please feel free!
Nurt Thursday – Secret to Happiness
I wanted to started this one with saying that I believe that people individually have their own secrets to happiness and I would love to hear what it is. If you feel comfortable to share ❤
I think though a lot of us can agree that the secret to happiness comes from within, rather than something outer. (Although, if we won the lottery, that would help too).
What a treat! Two of my favourite things in the whole wide world on the same day! Stories and Happiness!
Please gaze at a few of my favourite things and some books that I have already read, or am reading so far this year.

QUESTIONS:
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? If you don’t think Heaven nor God exists, you might want answer by saying something outrageous, just for fun!
“You did good kid, you did good” If God calls me a pig though, I will slap him,lol
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
Is it too mean to say being in Trumps “circle”,lol
What do you think about when you’re alone in your car?
I’m usually thinking what I’m doing in the car. By that, I mean depending on where I’m going I’ll be thinking things like “Do I need to pop in anywhere else on the way.” “Did I hear about roadworks, or crashes I need to be aware of?” or on the way back, it might be more “Well that day was long”. Other than that, I usually just listen to the radio or some music.
How would you rate your memory?
At the moment it’s not fantastic. However I did find out recently that I have extremely low Vitamin D, which can make you feel fatigued, which is what I’ve been feeling like recently. I am sure that feeling sleepy, not much goes into the brain. So hopefully with the medicine I’ve received, that will improve my memory as well as my Vit D levels!
And lastly:
What’s one song that always cheers you up, no matter how blue you’re feeling?
It honestly feels like a cliche to say this song, and I can’t even remember what I used to listen too before to cheer me up. I think it was either a Beatles (here comes the sun, pops into my mind) or Monkees song (probably daydream believer).

Do you prefer eating foods with nuts or no nuts?
It honestly depends on what I’m eating them with. Some things taste better and sometimes they make no sense!
Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
They are usually closed, but it’s not because I’m afraid of some boogie monster or anything. They are just usually closed…Also sometimes it hides the mess,lol.
Are you usually late, early, or right on time?
I always makes sure that I am at least 5-10 minutes early. It gives you time to get your bearings. Especially in a new place, if you are unsure of where things are. It gives you a couple of minutes to find people and places. I used to have a friend who was ALWAYS late for our gatherings and I find that so disrespectful and rude! We used to have always wait before we could order.It got to the point where we’d lie about the time we were meeting, why should we have to do that? Surprisingly she was never late for work, just us.
What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.
I am smiling because I have survived this week by myself. I haven’t been by myself for a night since my massive panic attack. I was truly terrified to spending, pretty much, a week by myself. The first couple of days were tough, but then we had this gorgeous beautiful sunny day and it just made me feel so better and then I’ve been great ever since.
If you haven’t heard or don’t know who James Packer is (I am sure that most of probably have some idea who he is). James Packer is a very rich…VERY…rich businessman and investor. You might know him most recently from his engagement to Mariah Carey.
Recently though he decided to resign his positions because of mental health issues.
I’m sure you’ve all heard about Justin Bieber and Hailey (Hayly?) Baldwin engagement. Only a couple of months after they broke up with their respective partners. Also known as “serial daters” Does anyone REALLY believe in their love? Also #selenaisfreeparty (I think she’s already had that party).
It just went to show me that you can all the money and all the resources at your feet. Neither does money give you happiness or love. I think the kindest thing James Packer has every done for others is too resign, or take leave. It shows to a lot more people that mental health can affect anyone no matter the circumstances. You can everything and still need help. More self love.
A bit too heavy for the morning?
