Yikes. Some is terrible. Though some are really great. Today, however a bank/credit card company and a car rental company have been so very painful. I don’t recall ever being engaged for so long and walking away with such little progress. Some companies need to be reminded that our time is more valuable than their cost efficiencies.

What’s Fun For You?
Do you enjoy card games or roller skating? Some people prefer sports and others like reading. You can get a thrill from high octane adventures or lie listlessly near a river enjoying the heat and watching clouds drift by. What’s your favourite way to have fun?
The Comfort In Old Friends
Things always click with old friends. There is a real comfort in seeing them and knowing what you’re going to get.
Big Purchases
A house, a car, long haul flights and an all-inclusive or five star hotel stay can be some of the biggest purchases you’ll make in life.
Note how you feel when you consider the 5, 6 or 7 figure sum for the first time. How does that change once you’ve decided to take the leap and pay the bill? And once it’s been paid? It’s an interesting mental transition.
Prom And Other Iconic Events
What a cool and wonderful watershed moment: Prom. Do you remember yours? Or have you not had it yet? A fun time and memorable event. Most people don’t have many events like that in their life, so enjoy it and keep its memory alive.
Take Some Breaks
You probably work hard during the day. Remember to take some breaks throughout. Let your mind relax, meditate, sit down and recharge. It’s quite important to fit in some breaks. You’ll feel better and you’ll perform better.
Find A Reason
There are so many reasons to smile in a day. That you are alive is a great one! Hopefully you have your health too. Perhaps it’s not perfect, but if it’s pretty good, usually, then you’re blessed. Finally, having a few coins in your pocket is also a great reason to smile. Now if you have someone special, or a few people, to share this feeling with, then you have it all!
100% Delighted!!
Have you ever felt 100% delighted with your life? If not, why not? If you have, what helped you feel that way.
There are so many reasons we can be grateful and loads of reasons to be sad, mad or complain. What you focus on most often will determine the level of delight in your life. And you can change that focus instantly. Try it!
Lovely Kids
Few things can even come close to the joy felt of raising lovely kids. When your kids are polite, try something new in earnest, laugh with you or appreciate you for trying to give them your best everyday, it is incredibly heartwarming. Knowing you’ve had a hand in raising these lovely kids is a wonderful thing.
Having Friends Over
It’s a great thing to do. It is often fun and enjoyable and great memories can be made. Kids are great at this. They always like a friend over or a sleep over. It’s just a lot of fun. Do more of this.
