... everyone have their meds this morning? Be it Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, maybe even some Xanax or Valium thrown in there... take it and try to have a good day! Take a picture or three... smell the flowers... B-R-E-A-T-H-E.............. smile at a stranger........ whistle or hum a little tune at work.... take another picture or four....... and QUIT BITCHING!

I feel better now. ;o)

I noticed the same thing. It seems like every challenge comes with four forum posts. 1. what is the definition of _______? 2. here are my rejects. 3. How you doing? and 4. those pictures were so great! In all four of them, even if they start positive, they quickly turn negative. even the "those pictures were so great" forum turns into the "they were awful, dpc has really lowered it's standards" forum.

I don't know if I have a point, just backing up laurie any way I can.

Yeah! I thought this photography thing was supposed to be fun!

By the way, I didn't get the memo regarding the promotion of a sour disposition - maybe my email filter kicked in or I just didn't see the post. Sooo sorry! I will endeavor to be more pissed off in the future and I will stop using smiley face emoticons and if I come across as too nice in one of my posts than bear with me. Mastering ultimate bitchdom is a process that requires years of study and practice!

he he he - I'm really sowing my smart-ass oats this morning! teehe

I smile at strangers too.

London being London they do sometimes look back at me like I'm an escapee from a lunatic asylum but more often I get a nice smile in return which always bolsters my good mood even further.

Generally I am almost always in a good mood, almost always happy. Even the minor frustrations and annoyances of daily life never get me down or truly depressed.

I actually really enjoy a debate of ideas, beliefs and so on, provided it's will intelligent and polite people who don't make it into a bitchfest or get belligerent about it. I find it refreshing to learn about alternative opinions and invigorating and challenging to express my own thoughts in a clear and concise way.

HUGS are ALWAYS welcome... Can I have some? And I'm always up for giving out hugs... especially in person!

Enjoyed that, ta very much.

Now I'm off out to see a slide show and presentation on Antarctica by the photographer who's going to be one of the specialist experts on the trip Pete and I are taking later in the year.

No we aren't working very hard this year. Yes we're very lucky. No you can't fit into my suitcase. Yes I'll take lots of pictures. <>
