Daily Prompt (May 6, 2014): What is the one word or phrase that immediately cheers you up when you hear it?
Its been a tough week at work with my coworker and my boss both on vacation with a lot of loose ends to tie up at my office and then problems always float in during these times.
My go-to pick me up , other than chick flicks and TV are always in the form of Dr. Seuss.
As silly as that sounds, Dr. Seuss has brought on an immense amount of joy in my life 🙂 I can sit down and read myself one (or more) of his stories out loud and it’ll just soothe my mind.
Life just gets so much better and more positive.
Here’s a few:
Maybe its the childhood innocence and maybe its better to be simple and know the value of yourself and the people that matter to you or its just the immense positive vibes that emit from the work of Dr. Seuss. Whatever the reason, this always works for me. 🙂
What word or phrase picks you up?
First of all, Dr. Seuss rocks! Secondly, your question’s an easy one for me because whenever I hear the word “serendipity”, it instantly puts me in a good mood. Not sure why, though. I wonder if it has to do with Ferris Beuller, since that’s the first time I’d heard it and upon hearing it countless occasions thereafter has always brought a smile on my face.
Lastly, I say this every morning when I wake up: “Today’s going to be the best day of my life.” I’ve been saying this to myself for almost two years now. And you know what? My attitude immediately changes hearing this phrase. It’s a conditioning process that’s worked with me and it makes me really appreciate every moment of every day. Including now! 🙂
