Smile and Remember toHave Fun on Your Life Journey

I describe the current economic conditions as an adjustment cycle with endless opportunities. Many people who were previously working for years in jobs, paying their bills, buying goods and services, and generally living, have been fired from those jobs and now have to take a new path.

It was like somebody pulled the plug on the economy and let the air out.
Life has many challenges and it's so easy to feel overwhelmed by issues. The best advice I can give you today is to smile and enjoy the day and take the issues one at a time, not collectively.

Laughter is great and it has health benefits. What is it going to take to get you to smile today. Figure it out. If you're stuck, get unstuck, turn on the comedy station and don't turn it off until you're laughing.

If you prefer movies, you might want to find one of those Red Box Machines where you can rent a movie for $1 for the night and check out a few movies listed as "comedy." There are other fun ways to laugh, I put on a funny colored wig one night and went to a bingo parlor to watch people going crazy dobbing their papers trying to win a game of bingo. It was fun. People watching is humorous.

For some people, the easiest way to smile is to go to a nearby mall and start walking around and observe people's shopping habits and how they dress to go out of the house. Another very popular phenomena is the 99cent store or Dollar Stores and more people are seeking out these lower priced alternative stores for their shopping needs. It's kind of fun to walk around the stores where everyone is looking for bargains.

Another way to smile is to go to a neighborhood dog walk and watch the people who are taking their dogs out and how the dogs interact with each other. In our neighborhood the dog walk is fenced-in and all the dog owners sit on benches watching the dogs in the dog run area. Sometimes people will throw a ball for the dogs to chase and you just smile. It's easy to forget about your problems and smile if you're watching the dogs have fun. It's light entertainment.

Smiling and laughing is contagious, so spread some around today and brighten other people up along the way.
