We have a family friend who has taught me that one needs to do whatever it is that makes one happy (as long as one doesn't hurt anyone else). There has been a few things that have happened since last week that have left me feeling sad.
Today I have been carrying a conversation with myself and asking my soul "how can I cheer you up" since I am a person that expresses emotions physically very easily, one can tell when I am feeling sad because I am usually a happy and playful kind of person... As the day progressed, all that comes to mind is getting flowers; the problem is not just flowers but sunflowers. There is something vivid about sunflowers that makes my heart tickle every time I am around this type of flower. Now I am on the journey of finding sunflowers to cheer my soul and help me get out of this "cloud"...
So my question to you is, what do you do to make you happy (cheer you up)? |
the easiest way for me to "cheer up" is to make someone else smile...not always easy in my profession but my day is not made unless i know that i have, somehow, made a difference to someone else!! if i can ease the pain and suffering in a small child in our ER or hold the hand of an elderly man as his soul-mate of 63 years leaves this earth, then i know i have done something worthwhile and i can go home "cheered up"!! |
Thank you for being a nurse (?), we need more gentle and kind people like you.
