How I did it: I was down and depressed due to a painful breakup with my boyfriend when it suddenly occurred to me that I feel like cheering myself up. And then I thought about this. I had the things listed in my phone's memopad so that wherever I am, I can easily record the thing/s that cheered me up that day. Read how I did it…

went to a Independence Day party hosted by our gay friends, had a nice time, watched an Ellen standup video, set off fireworks, celebrated Obama being president, and ate way too much junk food. Much fun.

<3 My husband, son and I all cuddling in bed this morning together. Even though every time the both of us got too snugly with him he would shove both of our heads away lol
<3 Having fun at the Parade today. My son enjoyed it & he got LOTS of candy. My husband & I also really enjoyed it, we were laughing & joking around. It was a nice family event. It was also nice to have my husbands mother & her friend come along.
<3 The awesome show the neighborhood put on tonight w/ the fireworks. Our town canceled this years fireworks due to cutting down their costs for things so our neighbors really put on a good show. & they weren't the cheap kinds either. It was so cool seeing all of these huge fireworks in our very own backyard coming at us from 5 different directions. The whole neighborhood was out & about to.
<3 Katie paying for everyones lunch out of kindness.
