Other People's Toast!
It smells better, it looks better, it tastes better!
Do you keep a journal? Arty,wordy or both? Do you find that you spend more time in that journal when the chips are down? I certainly do, since my early teens I've been keeping journals in one form or another and it's clear to see a pattern of depressive writing. This can be a good thing; the therapeutic kick some of us need, the space to vent during the off-season when kicking someone on a green field changes from sport to mugging! And let's face it, that dark stuff you wrote when you were a teen and the world just didn't understand; that stuff was awesome!
Recently I've been reading about the values of writing for your health and I've started to do something very simple... like most folks I use Facebook but now, in place of the usual boring status updates I'm going to write something I'm thankful for, something that makes me happy, something that makes me smile... not the big stuff like financial security, world peace, a roof over my head and a full stomach, I mean the little stuff... those things that are so small we sometimes miss but I'm thinking we should take the time to see how big their impact really is in our lives... so, The Little Big Stuff!
