Happy People surround themselves with positive people. One habit of happy people is they do not spend very much time with people who are negative or pessimistic. Nope. They instead spend their time with people who are upbeat, optimistic, encouraging and fun to be around. There is no question that the quality of your life is in direct correlation to the quality of the people that you spend time with. If you spend your time around unhappy people who growl a lot, you’ll be less happy. If you spend your time around happy people, their happiness is downright contagious.

They Make Their Bedrooms Their “Oasis.”
Lowe-Payne tells patients that their rooms should be an “oasis,” or a calming place conducive to sufficient, high-quality sleep. After all, research finds sleep quality, not just quantity, is central in cells’ immune response development. “[Sleep] is the period of time when your body begins to rejuvenate,” she says. To create your oasis, limit artificial light exposure before bed, lower the temperature and invest in a comfortable mattress and pillows, the American Sleep Foundation suggests. Keep your space clean too, Lowe-Payne advises. “If you have a cluttered room or a cluttered car or a cluttered workspace, you’re going to have a cluttered mind, and it’s going to create a stress response.”

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Simplicity
Simplicity
Emily Dickinson
How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn’t care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity.
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Keep the Pages Turning
“I always try to tell a good story, one with a compelling plot that will keep the pages turning. That is my first and primary goal. Sometimes I can tackle an issue-homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty-and wrap a good story around it.”
~ John Grisham
