What makes me smile…
It is so important with any chronic illness that we smile. And anything and everything (legal of course) should be employed. Gather yourself an arsenal of happy tools that you can pull out on those days when you just plain don't feel like smiling.
Here is some of my toolkit:
Her music just makes me smile every single day. She is a regular with my morning coffee and my afternoon tea...
I can't help but smile with him....
We have flowers in our yard. Until I pick them all. And if I can't do the cutting on a particular day, my hubby is sweet enough to help me. Did you know that my eyes and nose smile too...
And my stomach loves to smile...
Other times, the smiles just happen...
Or I may have to go outside to find a winged smile...
Or a crabby smile.
And there are times when driving is necessary to bring on a smile...
Sometimes I go online to smile...
I am always collecting new tools because I know I am in this for the long haul. I want the biggest arsenal, the largest tool kit that will keep me smiling. I hope you start collecting your tool kit too!
