@Giovanna: Be sure to say hi to your friend for me!

@Craig: I have two Miniature Dachshunds, and for as much stress as they cause my wife and I, they make up for it with love and affection. Like you said, ‘Instant stress relief’! Eric.

@Jeremy: Enjoy!

@Vincent: Well said!

@Caro: Wow, I’m glad you enjoyed it! You’re definitely correct that does tend to be those obvious things we either forget or just take for granted. Eric.

What a wonderful list.
I’m printing it out to stick in my journal, so that I’m reminded of it often… like most good advice, it’s not new or innovative… rather it’s the obvious, which we’ve forgotten

Hey Eric, I believe in counting our blessings. When we count our blessings, we are much more aware of what is happening around us and we show more gratitude to others. Counting our blessings will help to prevent us from complaining about life too much too. Cheers Vincent Personal Development Blogger Vincent´s last blog post..10 Things To Do If You Lose Your Job

@Juliet: I know, isn’t it great to focus on those simple pleasures?!

@Chris: The holidays definitely has a way of bringing ‘appreciation’ to the forefront.

@Jeff: I’m with you on THAT one. It’s a great way of taking your focus and pointing it outward. To become more selfless and less selfish.

@Sean: Thanks! More than DOUBLE BABY!!!

@Amber: Thanks, Amber. Looking at old photos is always good for a ‘fell good’ moment.

@Neil: This is one thing that I think only ‘hobby types’ can appreciate. I’m definitely one of those!

@Tess: Agreed! Music can be one of the most effective ways to relax and appreciate the moment and those things that bring you joy.

@Hugo: Passing on those positive vibes is something we should all strive to do on a regular basis. As you pointed out, it can really make someone’s day.

@Maya: Ahhh, DANCE! Excellent addition! I’m not much of a dancer, but Liz is. And moving to the music with someone you care about is a great way to enjoy life! Eric.

I love your list, but I have little ones and do not have the luxury of choosing some of the activities you have here ... I would add "Dance" - my kids are always ready for a little dance. It puts all of us in a great mood, instantly. Maya´s last blog post..Integrity, Values and Happiness
