2016 Fake Therapy Week Day 4: Smile

Welcome to the fourth day of this year's fake therapy week! Today I leave you with one quote:

"Smile, it's free therapy." - Douglas Horton

Happy Monday / the simple things make us happy/ Calamity Jane!!!!!

I thought I'd wish you a happy Monday with this awesome song! (warning: If you know this movie, spontaneous singing may occur. It's that awesome.)

This is one of my favorite musical numbers ever. In this scene from "Calamity Jane," Calamity just got home from Chicago to her small town of Deadwood City. She sings about all of these new and different things that they have Chicago, but in the end she'd rather be in Deadwood. 

Because, while all of those fancy things were fun to see, it's her life in the wild west's small town that makes her happy.

On a side note, I used to work at a store that had a long, wooden counter in it. Cowboy hats lined the wall behind it. Every time I would walk into the store this song would go through my head. So, pretty much every day for the entire time I worked there.

Happiness and Feet that look bad - a quote by Julia Roberts

"I don't have the luxury of sitting around any more. I must have had bags of spare time before I had children, but I don't know what I did with it and I didn't appreciate it. But it's such a terrific trade-off. I don't have time to get a pedicure, but I sure am happy. Who cares if your feet look bad? "

-Julia Roberts



I shared this quote because it's a good reminder that true happiness lies beneath otherwise skin-deep issues. Who cares if your feet look bad if you are focusing on the good things in your life?
