Preparing for and recording this was a HUGE mood-booster for me, so if you've been feeling down, I highly encourage you to share some of your little bits of happiness in the comments, or make your own list of things that make you more happy than not.
And if you make a list & are willing to share, instagram or tweet it with the hashtag #TeaChatwithBookRat! That's another silly little thing that makes ME happy. ^_^
If you have ideas for things you'd like to see discussed in a Tea Chat, let me know!
Thanks for watching!
Fairies! Fairies make me happy :-) And glitter! I would agree though. Thunderstorms are also awesome.
ReplyDeleteGlitter is both a great happy-maker and a plague. ;)
DeleteI'm glad you're able to get cathartic on things, even when you don't post them. I admit, after the original tea chat mug title I'm curious...but the world is full of enough negativity. Positivity is definitely healthier!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. The Pres of the company I work for has a philosophy that alongside every day's To-Do list should be a Ta-Da list, so you can be mindful of your many accomplishments (especially in the midst of frustrations and challenges). This Happy List seems like a similar great idea. I feel compelled to make a list of my own, and post it, so I have a public record to reference during future down times. Thanks!
(also, I'd never heard about that 3 months after birth thing....there may be something to that! I've always loved Spring, but since moving to an area with actual seasons, slight though they are, I find myself more and more drawn to Autumn, and leaf color changes, and that crisp pre-snow air. And I was born in late August, so that totally fits!)
(and OMG I've got the same thing with songs that have clapping in them!! Changing, by The Airborne Toxic Event is one of my favs)
I love that To-Do / Ta-Da thing! That is such a great way to look at it. =)
DeleteI still have the other tea chat, and I may revisit it, at least in part, at some point. But I honestly didn't even want to look at it, because I didn't want to be mad all over again... lol!
Gratitude is a powerful thing! And by the way - you LOOK like spring in all of that pretty pink. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYay! =D
DeleteLove your video! Thunderstorms. Opening to the right page. Jane Austen. Purring cats. It really is the little things :)
ReplyDeleteRain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens, right? =)
