HAPPY FRIDAY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS!!! :)

Call me silly, call me ca-razy...call me what you want....but I've decided that one of my GOALS in my life is to be known as the HAPPY SMILEY UPBEAT person that I am! :)

We've all come across those people out there, lets call them 'grumpy guses'...who just look like they are MISERABLE, CRABBY, AND GENERALLY UNHAPPY.....now, ask yourself... 'did I look like a grumpy gus today?' if the answer is YES...then KNOCK IT OFF!! ;)

No matter what you are going through in your life, no matter what struggles, pains, burdens you have...ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS remember that someone out there has it a little bit worse off than you do.

STOP wasting time being unhappy...STOP complaining (because really, no one wants to hear it)...STOP being the 'grumpy gus' in other people's lives.....

We can't change days that have passed us by...but we CAN change our tomorrows.....SO PUT A SMILE on your beautiful litle faces, and get on out there and strut your stuff!! :)

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
TOODLES!:happy:

    I just decided that I LOVE YOU! I dislike seeing Grumpy Gusses, and I am for sure one of the annoying people that always has a smile for everyone I pass! :smile:

    I LOVE this post!!! I am feeling very HAPPY today and grateful for all that I have. I don't like running into grouchy people because it can sometimes put a damper on my day. I refuse to be a grouchy person that other people will want to avoid!!!!:happy:

    Great post I agree, I love being a happy person, every time I start to feel a little down I just think about all the great things in my life. There is nothing worse then having to deal with grumpy people thoughout the day.
    being happy and smiling can solve more then people think

    See, I'm a very cheerful person but I realize that things like depression, anxiety and other emotional issues exist. I'm not going to judge someone for being honest about not feeling well. Some people can't "get over it" because they have serious psychological issues.

    I'm glad you are happy and I support your exciting, bubbly spirit but maybe you could try making people happy by being open and friendly and not steamrolling over other people's lives by dismissing all their problems as trivial.

    (Sorry, I know this is a tad uncalled for but my brother's best friend committed suicide recentally and this just strikes me as very insensitive)

    All those ideas are great, but that is exactly what you should not say to a depressed person.

    It is a good mantra to live by tho.

    Well I was in NO way trying to be 'insensitive' santacolia. I TOO know someone who committed suicide...and I MYSELF suffer from seasonal depression....I am not HAPPY and BUBBLY all the time...

    Obviously my post wasn't directed to those people who have "serious psychological issues", but rather those people who complain about the SMALL things in life on a daily basis....and was, at the most, just a FUN upbeat post.

    I guess next time I will spell it out a little bit clearer, so you don't get the impression I am being insensitive.
    Happy Friday!! :)

    Um...If more people thought like her they could 'just get over it'. What is she supposed to say?? Be happy unless your life sucks?? WHATEVER
