Quick Tip of the Day: Optimism 101
Here’s a cheerful Sally Hawkins in the film Happy Go Lucky. I saw it recently and found myself simultaneously amazed and annoyed that one person (a fictional person, but still) could be so happy all the freakin’ time. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that just maybe optimism is infectious, and I don’t mean in the swine flu way.
Thus, I resolved to be more optimistic. Enter 1,000 Awesome Things, the perfect site for my new glass-half-fullness:
The site counts down 1,000 awesomely happy things, with each day devoted to one thing. Today’s post is #765, “Thinking it’s Thursday when it’s Friday.” Fairly awesome, no? And here are some highlights from past awesomeness:
#776: When you’re watching one of your favorite movies, and you realize you don’t remember how it ends.
#857: Getting the big corner stall in the public bathroom.
#905: Using all the different shampoos and soaps in someone else’s shower.
#956: Using Rock-Paper-Scissors to settle anything.
Bring on the awesome, world; this is a whole new me.
