- listen to beautiful music
- call one of my best friends
- look around wherever I am, realise how amazing everything is, and smile a big smile

"Every body dance now!!!"

(Sorry, that was a little C+C music factory for Cassandra)

I agree that music is a profound infuencer of my mood either up or down. For those of you hip-hopers Nas's current "I can" is too damn cute not to smile too. Not sure if it's big world wide but worth the download if you've got time. Techno, especially techno with history (that I've got specific fond memories of) is always a perk me up.

Back to the bullet format:
- Take a minute to smell the flowers, or at least buy them for someone and let them smell them.
- Look at photos.
- Call a friend I haven't seen in a while.
- Get something yummy to eat in my neighborhood.
- Walk in the park.
- SPIN SOME POI SILLY!
- Count my blessings/focus on what's good in my life.
- Go play nintendo with my brothers.
- Drink tea.
- Play on HoP.
- And my #1, never fail, 100% pick me up is to think of Cassandra. Corny but true.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Mmmmmm, smiley thoughts from luvverly people

What can I add...?

I suppose for me it's just escaping from whatever is bringing me down.

Read some of my most beautiful books
Ride my motorbike and sing like a loon with the throttle cranked ALL the way open.
Potter around the garden and wonder why plants never seem to get the blues.
Play all those tunes that I love but never really get round to listening to anymore.
Watch The Comic Strip/Bladerunner/Winnie-the-Pooh/Withnail videos
Phone my folks
Go out and get hammered with my mates
Wander through the woods at night
Play the guitar/drum (both exceedingly badly but at least it makes me appreciate people who can do them well)
Mix a VERY large G&T and spend some time getting to know it
Hug complete strangers (WARNING: you can get arrested for this one)

Fish are just like trees except they move and they're invisible

ooooooh, how lovely

when I'm sad or bored I:

* pull out my ideas book and look for a new project, or reflect on past projects
* lie down in the sun
* hug a tree
* walk in the garden, and marvel at the insect life that lives there
* play music very loudly and sing along with it
* imagine my being filling with energy, that is coming up from the earth, expanding and filling me, making my insides all golden yellow, filling me with feelings of peace and love

Ah Cass and inspiring posts.... Muah darling!
hmmmm...

-going upstairs to stare at my sleeping elf
-have a fit for a bit and then realise that there is nothing to worry about cause all is well in the world!
-go for a walk
-cook for friends (so nice to see smiles on peoples faces)
-people watch
-read a funy book or watch a funny movie!
-go set up for a party or even better go to the party

Genraly I try to get my head in a positive mood somehow... I try to think of all that I have to be happy for and smile. Meditation also helps, seeing someone you love also helps.

much love drome

My most favorite thing to do when I need a spiritual lift:

Find the closest piece of water, preferably ocean or the lake by my cottage, and sit quietly staring at the waves and ripples of water, thinking of the power it holds, and the natural energy it gives.... ahhh...

Or spin poi on the beach which is even better.

group hug!!!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, But by the moments that take our breath away.
