6 WAYS TO BE HAPPY

Life does not always go according to plan does it? There seems to be so much stress and things that are beyond our control. What makes us sad or stresses us out is different for everyone. For some it’s bills or work, for others it’s a bad relationship or illness. I imagine there are some people who could write a 20 page list on the way life has screwed them. Personally I have done that. So how in a world full of hurt, drama and stress do you stay positive? How do we keep from going off the deep end? Well, there are six things you can do right now to improve your mood and regain some much-needed happiness.

Laugh Hard
Find anything you can to laugh at. It is hard to be sad when you are laughing. Find a funny video, watch a comedy. Go people watching at Walmart? Find the humor in a bad situation. When you lose your ability to laugh you lose hope.

Love Something or Someone
Really love it. Have passion for it! It doesn’t matter what as long as it matters to you. It is hard to be angry or miserable when you are focused on love. When we send the vibe of love out to the world it makes the bad stuff in life easier to swallow.

Live In The Moment
Yes we all have responsibilities and to some degree we must all think ahead. However you can live in the moment by being grateful for today. You can take a risk. Look, none of us are promised tomorrow right. Aerosmith said “life’s a journey not a destination” It’s true! If you are spending all your time looking ahead you are missing all the best parts of the trip and you learn nothing.

Give To Someone
Give whatever and whenever you can .I have NEVER felt bad when I was giving to others from my heart. Give you time, give your kindness. Give 5 dollars to the women in front of you in the grocery store who is short .You never know you could change someone’s life in 10 second with the act of giving. The act of giving to others is like food for your soul. It will bring you joy and you will become addicted to that feeling.

Have a Higher Power
No matter what your background, belief system or religion. Have a higher power. You have to believe in something bigger than yourself. It allows you to surrender and lay your troubles down. Something’s are simply out of our control. Accepting that can bring serenity and comfort. When you feel calm and at peace it is easy to feel happy. It is also easier to see are problems more clearly leading to a better solution.

Read 1-5 and Practice Daily!

I hope the best life possible to all of you that read this. I know that the times we live in make it hard someday to even breathe. I am no different from anyone else. Some days my life looks like a train wreck. I often struggle to keep myself from rolling off the rails. I think we have to remind ourselves and each other of what is important. Happy people spread happiness. Be well and always pay it forward.

Have a great weekend

WILL SLEEPY HOLLOW GET A 3RD SEASON???

Rumors are flying that FOX may cancel Sleepy Hollow after season two. Say it ain’t so! Yes, I am a loyal sleepyhead.I will admit season two could have been a bit better. I still tune in every Monday night though.This past Monday the 26th was no different.Except, this episode implies there is hope for season three. It would seem that the writers are trying to regain that season 1 magic. Still, Sleepy Hollow has questions to answer.

Is Captain Irving really a vampire?

Will Katrina turn evil? ( oh please say yes)

Where is Henry?

Will Ichabod get better at karaoke?

Will  Katrina ever get out of that corset and into a bra?

All questions I wish I had the answers to.

One thing seems certain, we are finally getting more Abbie and Ichabod for now.

While I loved Mondays episode, I still hit GOOGLE in search of answers to my many questions.After searching articles, blogs, and social media, I found two things:

#1 There is a lot of Katrina hate

# 2  Kristin Dos Santo’s had interviewed Orlando Jones (glad to see him back)and Executive producer, Len Wiseman. Both men said they “feel pretty good” about a season 3. That made me feel better but was not the most interesting part.

Orlando Jones said:

“Somebody’s going to die. I mean die, not coming back”

Les Wiseman had this to say:

“Some really big twists are coming up. The fate of one of our characters is not going to be pretty. It’s not going to be redeemable”

CRYPTIC MUCH!! 

So who is going to die? What or who will be unredeemable? 

Now, I know most of the Sleepyheads are praying it’s Katrina who gets the ax. Don’t get your hopes up, you may be wrong.It looks like it could be anyone. Wiseman said about the death, “it would be “a bit of a heartbreaker”.That only leaves a few.Abbie’s sister Jenny maybe? Captain Irving again? Worse maybe Abbie herself? The theories are endless on the net so are the rumors and wishes. I personally would like to see an evil Katrina. Just so I can see Ichabod kill her himself.Then watch Ichabod and Abbie kick ass every Monday after that.Sadly, I am not in the writers room.I will have to watch and speculate with all of you.If FOX is smart they will renew Sleepy Hollow or its fans could Revolt.

GIVE US SLEEPY HOLLOW OR GIVE US DEATH!( OK, not death maybe PBS)

Watch Sleepy Hollow Monday nights on Fox 8/9c
