Why don't you... (stopped counting)

Indeed,

 

Stop counting: What went wrong, what has not been done, what he/she did wrong, how many kilo's you have gained during the last year, the times you have been kept waiting at the post office, the rain, the traffic in the morning, supermarkets and all the months/years until you will be a pensioner and will start your real life ( ...)  -  all that sort of things which make life as a whole miserable.

 

Start counting: Your blessings, the clouds in the sky, the congratulations you got for your last birthday, the new people you met this year and the month/days/years until your birthday/holidays/move to another country/new stage of your life - and start to prepare for it?

 

Stop thinking about: Money, health and friends.

 

Start thinking about: Friends, health and money.

 

Throw a party when you are down? Best remedy against those depressions creeping up in the small hours of the night: you have something to look forward to!

 

Take things easy?    My doctor told me to do so - quite a difficult task, but intriguing if it works...

 

Change your daily way to work in order to look around you?

 

Make new friends and feel invigorated, grateful and happy for them having come into your life?

 

Plan holidays ONLY for yourself? Admit, we are not used to do that anymore. Seems bliss to me.

 

Buy a new wintercoat? And in an other colour than black or blue? ( I love grey...)

 

Stop whining: Or you are unhappy about something and wail about it and then do all you can to change it, or you just stop wailing and grin and bear it. Nothing more tiresome than someone complaining all the time but not doing anything to change it...

 

Start making plans  about things to be done still this year and what to do next year and what you expect to have achieved in 10 years? Gives a sense of purpose to all uphill struggling in the day to day life...

 

Get on facebook, even if you are already over 30?  Have to think about that. After all we have to take part in the modern information revolution...? Keep up to date with technology is one indicator of being alive. I have not yet become a member, but am actively thinking about it ... (Simply to make this blog more known and see what comes out of it.)
