Recipe for Your Unhappiness

Hi everyone. I thought I would do something different today. 

I really don`t like cooking anymore. My daughter, Nicole does it now. I am so grateful for that. But I do like to eat and of course I have some favorite recipes. 


I know, this is not a blog about cooking but I thought it might be fun to share this Recipe for Unhappiness with you today.

Okay, let`s get started.



Recipe for Your Unhappiness

Ingredients

  • A pen and paper
  • One set of lips
  • 7 Ounces of Stale air
  • One dark and gloomy living space
  • 7 Cups of sleep deprivation
  • Few pinches of lethargy
  • 1 untrained mind
  • 5 Cups of Negative attitude
  • A dash of selfishness

Directions


  1. Everyday, take your pen and paper to write a list of everything that has ever gone wrong in your life. Remember to include those times someone has let you down, hurt you or betrayed you. 
  2. Never feel gratitude or count your blessings. It is easier to take your home, family and friends for granted.
  3. Avoid getting a good night`s rest. Use any means available to keep yourself awake - lots of coffee helps. Sleep deprivation is a myth.
  4. Take those lips and maintain a frown. After a while you face will stay like that. At least that`s what my Mom use to say.
  5. Never go outside and take a breath of fresh air. 
  6. Stay clear of the sun by remaining indoors with the curtains drawn. SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is not real.
  7. Do not exercise. Be lethargic.  Scientists have not proven a link between exercise and a healthy state of mind.
  8. Allow your mind to wander into terrible memories and thoughts of futuristic scenarios of doom and gloom. Never stop and live in the moment.
  9. Indulge in self destructive behavior, negative thoughts and pessimism. Watch or read and pour all your energy into an endless stream of news about tragedies, inhumanity, destruction and disasters. 
  10. Be sure to never share, be polite, volunteer or think of the other person.

Once these are combined, let it set and brew. 

Enjoy your miserable life and serve to everyone you know.




Happiness is more about your attitude than it is about the circumstances in your life.



Here is a recipe card for you to print out. Enjoy.

Life Is Good






I first heard about this company a few years ago. I loved their message. Life is Good. Spreading the power of optimism. 

When I saw the chance to be a part of their affiliate program I jumped on it because it is one more way that I can spread the optimism with you. Because Life Is Good!


Their Success Story

Bert and John Jacobs are brothers and co-founders of Life is Good. They struggled for five years selling their t-shirts. 

Then one day they decided to print "Jake" on their t-shirts.

"Jake's contagious grin, simple as it was, seemed to express everything the Jacobs brothers believed in."


"Soon Jake was introduced to local retailers, and his simple message of optimism was embraced like nothing the brothers had ever seen."

Their company has grown and now offers a wide variety of items.

When you have some time, check it out.

Make a Chalkboard Printable in Minutes

Hi there. So glad you decided to drop by.

Chalkboards are still popular. I've made a few printables myself. I thought you may like to give it a try yourself. 

So I'll show you how I make them in word.




But first I will share a few images of my work so you can get a general idea of what we will be concentrating on today.

Obviously we need to start with a blank chalkboard. I just so happen to have found one right HERE

Insert the blank chalkboard image into word. If you would like the instructions for inserting an image please click HERE.


Blank Black ChalkboardAdjust the image to fit an 8" x 10" standard sheet of paper or whatever size you want it to be.

Next we add the text of the quote by inserting a text box and typing in your quote. For instructions on inserting a text box and text please click HERE.

Go ahead and type the whole quote in. Now highlight the text and select your font. 

There are a few nice looking chalkboard fonts to choose from. If you don't have one on your computer it is simple enough to get one. You can Google it or check out my Pinterest page titled Fonts and Digital Images.

This one is pretty good. Check it out, I'm sure you'll find something you like.

Lastly, you'll want to play around with the arrangement of the words.

Oh sorry. That's not last. The last part is saving it as a jpeg. 

Highlight the text and the chalkboard image. Copy. Paste into Paint. Crop. Save as jpeg with the title of your choice.

Tadaa! You're all finished your chalkboard printable. Wasn't that easy?

Happiness is . . . Coloring - Pages for Adults

In the middle of March I shared with you, the benefits of having a hobby. At the same time I shared my newest hobby. That post was on my other blog. You can check it out HERE.

Today I would like to share with you again. I created this fun little colouring page in time for Easter. Feel free to take a copy for yourself or someone else. Colour it any way you wish. And most importantly - have fun. 

Enjoy the experience and live in the now - just for a moment get lost in the paper in front of you relax and be happy.



My daughter has been badgering me to get my drawings posted on Etsy so I will be busy scanning for the next couple of days.

I am a little freaked out. I hope you stop by once it is live and check out the images.

Bye for now. 



Have a wonderful week!
