Be The Eraser

 "If you can't be a pencil to write someone's happiness then try to be the eraser to remove their sadness"

We all try to 'keep that stiff upper lip!'

But it is not easy!

If we're finding it difficult, so is that person standing next to us, in the bus queue or waiting for the same train. Or --- even one of our closest friends or loved one. We would do anything we could to try to "cheer them up" wouldn't we.

We can't always 'write' a happy note into someone's day but we can try to 'remove' the pain, or, at the very least --- let him or her know that we are there and ready to help in any way we can.

Just a side thought --- don't forget to try to do this for yourself. When you are feeling sad (for what ever reason), try to cheer yourself up, forcing your mind onto a happier thought, or deliberately 'do something' that you know will make you feel better, (including eating a little chocolate).

I personally use music. If I start to feel sad, maybe something on TV 'triggered' a memory, I listen to music that I know will take my mind into a different and happier 'world' --- it is like a kind of medicine, but for me personally, it does really work.

Why not try it?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
