The most important decision you will ever make
is to be in a good mood.
Voltaire
I have to agree with with Voltaire. We have a choice. We can be in a good mood or a bad mood. Oh, I know sometimes things get us down or don’t go our way. Happens to me more than I like and when the mood is bad I sometimes dwell in it for awhile. But I don’t like being miserable! So, I make the decision to shake off that ugliness and get on with my good old ditzy life.
I am talking about everyday bad moods not the moods that happen when there is loss, sorrow, grief, heartache…those things need to be felt and acknowledged…they are not bad moods they are major life happenings. Major life happenings need time and care to come to terms with over time.
But bad moods…just a waste of time!

One more thing…I love the Voltaire quote. Never heard it before. 🙂
This is just what I needed so I’m glad I arrived a day late. I woke up gloomy for no apparent reason. It happens. One needs to nip it in the bud before it steals the day. I’m so glad you’re back. 🙂
Yeah, the blooms gotta go before they get roots and take over.😾 Have a good day😻
Oops, GLOOMS
You too. 🙂
I laughed at your saying bad moods are a waste of time. You are absolutely correct, but I never thought of them like that.
Well, I do like to waste time doing silly things that make me happy.🐈
Silly things are marvelous. What would we do without them?
I second this Anne, as I give myself a good shake.
PS Aren’t you glad she’s back. 🙂
I have mood swings, and can’t blame them all on my meds. Worse thing is when you’re in a bad mood and don’t know why. Happy New Year Patricia.
Usually, when I find myself in a bad mood there isn’t one reason but an accumulation of little bothersome things that I let build up and I get frustrated. Seems I would by now know to not let that happen. Bad moods are such a waste of energy!
Like we’ve collected dust. I so get this.
Absolutely right
Great minds think alike. 😉
Thanks 🙏
