Even ten-year-olds know... Stacey's mom has got it going on... and so does Stacey.

Cool hair makes a person 10% prettier/more handsome. A cool smile makes a person 100% prettier/more handsome.

I was gonna go all syrupy sweet and suggest that, every day, you write back to us what was the most joyful thing you experienced all day. Some days a big thing, like good news. Some days a little thing, like the warmth of sun that shone in on you.

Even when you don't notice them, those things are there, and it is a very good thing indeed to actually notice them.

People who are depressed and who come out of depression, whether by themself or through drugs or therapy, often say that the colors of the world are brighter to them. I'll go all syrupy sweet and point out what we all know - that those are the same colors, just a different mind taking them in. Maybe it would help to take in those colors just for the sake of it. Notice the beauty, notice the joy.

And allowing myself these kinds of tender thoughts, and writing them here, are part of me noticing the joy as well.
