Friday Five

What makes you feel good?

1. What is the one outfit/piece of clothing/accessory you own that makes you feel incredibly good whenever you wear it? Why?

I have a couple of shirts of my dad's that almost always make me feel less blue when I put them on. Otherwise, I don't really worry about clothes that much; if they're comfortable (and most of mine are), they're good.

2. What do you do to make yourself feel better when you're in a funk?

The short answer is eat. That's a bad thing. Otherwise, I blog, read, or do crosswords. Basically, I don't do much work, which would very sensibly make me feel better about accomplishing something...

3. Has anyone ever surprised you in a way that let you know you were special? How?

I was just talking to someone yesterday about having had two surprise baby showers when I was pregnant. Those were fun. I'm sure there are other times, too, but they escape me right now.

4. When you are having a "good day," how do you spread the happiness to others?

Smiles and cheerfulness all around; I'm also more willing to listen--up to a point--to other people's issues.

5. What is one thing that puts you in a bad mood, no matter how good you were previously feeling?

Having the schedule of my day uprooted and flung in my face is bad. Also, being taken for granted or ignored pushes my buttons (sign of a youngest child, I think), as does someone telling me about some kind of injustice done to them. I tend to get all worked up about that.
