There is a food pantry out here where people can donate their extra home grown produce. I think that is a great idea for those bumper crops someone sometimes gets! Fruit trees count too.

That's a great idea - we have extra peppers right now that we're not sure what to do with. Our friends aren't interested. Maybe we should try the food bank ...

Smile!

It makes you feel better & it makes everyone else feel better.

That's so true PDM - and medical studies have proven that smiling actually affects your brain! That is, if you smile even if you're not happy, you start to feel better. If you frown even if you're happy, you start to feel worse. So, odd as it might sound, your body is affected by whether you force yourself to smile or frown.

It's worth it to smile while you shower!

Of course it's even better if you play fun music to get you to smile naturally

Figure out what colors appeal to you personally, and use those colors in your daily workspace / play space. Even small splashes of color can make a big difference.

In case anyone has any other ideas, I'm about to assemble the first version of this ebook, for free download! I'll let you know as soon as I'm done.

The first version of the ebook is done!! I spent all day working on it. It is 51 pages and is FREE to download and enjoy!

Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions or tips!

I can't wait to open this link. Right now I can't download anything (this park has given my a tiny amount of megs).

Once I am installed in my new home, i will have unlimited Internet via cable. So by (if all goes well) Wed, I will be back to having lots of gigs to play with.

Thank you, in advance, for pulling together what I am sure is a wonderful ebook!

You should be moving in today! I hope everything is going very well for you!

An update! The second version of this book is done! You can download it for free -

I am always looking for more suggestions!

I had read your first edition shortly after I moved in and now read your second edition. I am so proud to be a part of it. It's lovely. Eventually this will be a nice thick book we can order for ourselves from Lulu. Full of good things.
