The flip side of the monsoon, which by the way is my favourite season, is that it gets people to think a lot, and they think up the most unhappy things about themselves. Even when told that they are better than they give credit to themselves for, they just don’t want to believe you. At times it feels like they are addicted to pain because whatever solution you offer them, they are just not even willing to see if it would work, instead they choose to sit and cry over it.
If something hurts so bad, why not get up and do something about it. When someone offers you help, why not appreciate the effort they are putting to making you feel better. When you’re given reasons to smile, at least don’t turn away from them.
Please, no matter what is happening in your life, do not forget to smile! There is always something to smile about.. maybe a friend who stood by you, maybe a stranger who smiled at you or the innocence of a child that fills you with love. There is always a reason to smile!

n maybe that daddy is home for a week to pamper his litt gal 😉
And maybe that is why mommy came too 😉

If on a bad day , there is nothing to smile about, then too smile for tomorrow would be a good/better day. A smile is a curve tha sets straight things, so 🙂
And no matter what, keep 🙂
This is so true… there are people who like to wallow in self-pity and feel sorry for themselves all the time… the martyr syndrome!! Being happy is a state that can be attained by the person alone. If you decide to be miserable, no one can change that.

The Martyr Syndrome it is… and people expect to be sympathized with as if the other person has no life of their own.
Absolutely true! There is always something to smile about. Love the image of the laughing happy baby.
Great positive upbeat post.

So true Molu.
it is just that at those times, we need to see positive to make us smile.. I am a hardcore optimist..but depending on frequency of migraine attacks..I do sink into depression.. what makes me smile then is goodness of human heart..It neednt have anything to do with me..just seeing people do good feels like the happy hand is outstretched to take me out of it 😀
You really have to get rid of that stupid migraine 🙁
