Happiness

This came from @enigmalynne but I think it was maybe originally on fngrcufs site?  Anyhow, it fit with my mood of late and felt like reposting it here.  I hope whoever posted it originally won't take offense that I'm borrowing it - granted everything on this blog is borrowed, so hopefully everyone already knows that!

International Women's Day!

What it's really about: 

http://www.internationalwomensday.com/about.asp -

International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.

Annually on March 8, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.

Many global corporations have also started to more actively support IWD by running their own internal events and through supporting external ones. For example, on 8 March search engine and media giant Google some years even changes its logo on its global search pages. Year on year IWD is certainly increasing in status. The United States even designates the whole month of March as 'Women's History Month'.

So make a difference, think globally and act locally !! Make everyday International Women's Day. Do your bit to ensure that the future for girls is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.

Being a kick ass woman - remember that we've been fighting the good fight for a very very long time. 

Little things sometimes mean the most

You know how in my last post, I was asking to find out how to beat a mad case of the blues?

This feeling, right here? 
Well the cure is none other than a random act of kindness.  Granted it was from my hubby, but still, it was unexpected and sweet and put a gigantic smile upon my face.  It was as simple as him buying me a shamrock shake 'just because'. 

I was as giddy as a school girl - just because - someone took time out of their day to think about me.  So there you have it.  The secret's out.  I guess it's my turn to return the favor to some unsuspecting person just by being nice and showing that I care.  Sounds easy and simple enough.

Winter doldrums

What do you do when you're feeling depressed, or in that funk that makes you feel sorry for yourself?  I am not generally an EMO person.  I'm happy go lucky and generally even keeled - but for some reason since last week I've been in a deep melancholy state.  I just don’t know what to do to snap out of it.  I thought maybe it was just winter, even if where I lived has had such a mild winter I could barely call it that.  Or maybe it's just feeling restless and uneasy with my life in general.  Either way, I don't know what to do about it. 

I'm not so depressed that I hate my life or am thinking desperate thoughts, but I'm just, I don't know.  Bored with my life?  I realize I'm probably rambling a bit, but I don't know?

So I think I'm going to take a break from Twitter, not that anyone would know I'm not there, but being on there and feeling insignificant isn't helping things I think.

So what do you do when you feel like this?
