When I'm Feeling Sad

"When the dog bites. When the bee stings. When I'm feeling sad. I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad." Wise words from "The Sound of Music" yes? These last few months I feel like I have been such a negative Nelly, a total Debbie downer if you will. Guess what? It's hard to be happy go lucky when you feel so yucky! But I have felt yucky for soooo long that it's come to a point where I am starting to miss my old happy self. No, I am not always a glow worm kind of happy- but I really do try.

I wish I were a glow worm

A glow worms never glum.

Cause it's hard to be sad

When the sun shines out your bum!

Anyway. Last night as I was laying in bed the lyrics from this song popped into my head. I  realized that there are so many things in this world that I love. I should make a list of some of them. Okay, that sounds cheesy, but the theory behind it is good right?

Ahem....
