I often notice that my mood changes. I'm not so upbeat and I start to dwell on problems. So as soon as the sun reappears I have to get out of the house and into the garden... yes, I know I am blessed to have a forest to walk in but you can take it for granted and when you notice the lantana that is growing back you groan! I HAVE TO LOOK UPWARDS to see the tops of the trees and say thank you to God for blessing me with so much - this beautiful forest setting, my lovely home, my loving family, bread on the table and so much more! I loved your suggestions Saminda... the only other one I would add is to make something or do one small creative act... arrange some flowers, rearrange a photo display on a shelf or table or make bread... this is what I have just written about in my latest post and I need to go now and knead my dough.. I always feel better after kneading!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-70106236746703734722009-09-08T10:18:36.450+10:002009-09-08T10:18:36.450+10:00I too love your post!

Nothing like remembering the Lord!<br /><br />2. Do something for someone else. Make a card for a sick friend, call someone who's having a hard time...and don't mention your own struggles, just listen! I find focussing on others helps me become less self-centered on my blue days!<br /><br />3. Sit and listen to a child laugh! If I don't focus on the mess/work my children make, their laughter is "good medicine"!<br /><br />Many blessings!~Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-2613391137982350462009-09-08T01:04:26.655+10:002009-09-08T01:04:26.655+10:00Wonderful!

It is amazing how much children pick up by having the materials available.

And your list sure covers those things.
