There are days when you feel like life is trying to bring you down. No matter what you do some things just don't ever seem to look up. In times like these we just feel like giving up. We should be fighting back. There is only one way to do this action. We have to smile and always think positive!

Why let a bad day keep you down!

Think of all the bad things that happened to you, and make it into a positive thought. Say you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Think of waking up as victory. You made it another day. What could possibly be so bad about that? Once you have started your day off with a positive attitude it is hard to break that positive spirit!

Smiling is Contagious

Smiling is actually a great tool to use in life. In today's society we often result to frowning. No one actually means to do this, sometimes it is just how the person looks, however we all can do one thing to change this, simply smile. If you go out of your way to smile at someone who looks like they could need some cheering up, it might just do the trick. Do one thing everyday that will make someone smile. We often get caught up in the moment and don't understand how smiling can not only lift your mood, but possibly someone else's mood as well.

Boost someone's self confidence

No one knows what someone else could be going through. Everyone is different and have their own things to worry about, but there is always a time to make someone's day. A simple text message could do the trick. It takes 30 seconds to send a friend a good morning message to tell them to have a good day. You may not think this works, but it is more effective than you think. If you go out of your own way to tell someone they are loved, and you are thinking of them, it may light up their world. Being selfless is a wonderful quality you should strive for. We never know what someone else is going through which is why boosting someone's spirit in any possible is a tremendous thing.

There are a million reasons to smile

We forget about all the great things life offers us each day. The opportunity to take chances, and never give up on our dreams. This alone gives us a millions reasons why we should live each day to the fullest. We don't often get second chances. We have to take what we have now and just go for it. Never forget the reason you are smiling. We often forget why we smile. Don't ever lose the sense of your own happiness. We get one life to live, so why just sit around not reaching your goals? Find your reason to smile and spread it.

Smiling and having a positive outlook on life are two important attributes. Life does get hard, we all know that but what is most important is looking beyond the imperfections!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
