As if we needed reasons to smile (OK- maybe sometimes we do!), here are ones taken directly from this site.
Enjoy, and HAPPY TUESDAY!
If you’re like me, a lot of the stress in your life originates at work. Last week, I was checking out my cousin’s shop Angelina and saw these fantastic posters by her registers. I commented on them and you know what? She told me they were FREE! Here’s the link to them. Hang them at work to spread some positivity!
The site kindovermatter.com is a great source for positive affirmations and neat freebies. I highly recommend you check them out!
Love peanut butter? Love chocolate? These cookies are similar to Reese’s peanut butter cups but about 400 times better! It’s been awhile since I’ve tried a new Martha Stewart recipe, and boy am I glad I found this one. My only complaint is that the recipe states you should bake the cookies until firm, so I left them in a few minutes longer which made them a little crunchy instead of soft. Lesson learned, next time I’ll bake them less than the 15-16 minutes that I did this time. Still, they’re delicious.
Fun Fact! Butter has a lower cooking temperature than shortening, but you can substitute one for the other, 1:1. Just keep in mind they will probably be done faster.
Give these a try with peanut butter chips instead, for a more peanut buttery flavor!
Today’s assignment: Make a list of your favorite things.
Staying positive and happy isn’t easy sometimes. Bills, family fights, sickness, work and the day to day rat race can really stress us out and make us forget that joy can really overpower those feelings. We just have to find it. Write down the things you love so you can look at your list when you’re having trouble remembering. Trust me- it helps!
Somethingsthat make me happy are:
my family
my pets
thunderstorms
the warm sun on my skin
sunflowers
lazy Sundays
the sound of waves
baking
makingart
laughing
blueberries
cheese
road trips
quality timewith friends
meeting newfriends
trying newthings
hula hooping
blogging
What makes you happy?
If you don’t get everythingyou want, think of the things you don’t get that you don’t want.
