Hi there,
Goodness, I'm in a jolly good mood today, my last post set me off, the photograph is of me and me pals in Glastonbury on one of the most enjoyable days of my life, ooooh the fun we had!
I'm generally a happy type, but at times my senses are so dulled, that I just don't feel anything at all but today I feel quite ecstatic and I have no idea why, maybe it's something I ate! Anyway feeling this way I feel qualified to instruct the rest of the world how to be happy so here are my 10 steps to a happy head;

1.) Learn to love nature, when you look at a tree, or a meadow, or a moor covered in heather, feel it, let it fill your heart, let it feed your soul!
2.) Keep an open mind, there is far more to this earth than most would have you believe, be open to it, there are many layers to life, search for them.
3.) Count your blessings, don't dwell on what you haven't got but what you have.
4.) Don't believe the hype, don't fall for all the lies that are constantly shoved down your throat about all these marvelous things you need when really you don't. Don't get hung up on 'things'.
5.) Go out dancing on a regular basis.
6.) Be a good friend and you'll have lots of good friends.
7.) Smile at people, be polite and courteous.
8.) Be creative, don't just sit there do something, anything, just do it. (this is the one I have most trouble with unfortunately!)
9.) Educate yourself, the world is full of the literature/music/films etc. that aren't nessesary sold in waterstones/in the top ten/on at the cinema, find it for yourself, there is more out there than you could possibly imagine, look for it and you will find!
10.) Do what you want, you don't have to live by anybody elses rules or constaints, you can work out for yourself whiether someting is a good idea or not, you have all the information already within you, look to yourself and listen carefully.

So there you go it's as easy as that (if only!) Well it's a bloody good start anyway and it works for me (on most days.) If anyone can think of anything I should add please comment. I just realised that the last point means that you shouldn't pay any attention to the other nine points. Oh well, I don't think anyone reads this anyway!
Have a fun weekend.
