Maintaining optimism

This is something I kind of, sort of, really actually, work at.

Don't think I'm alone in it, but I think it is something I am conscious of.

What do I do?

• hang with my husband
• hang with my kids
• hang with my dog
• walk
• get outside...in mountains or on the sea outside
• keep fit
• try to sleep
• read 
• don't read some things
• remain amazed
• look at some stupid funny things from time to time
• hang with happy people
• do things that make me feel accomplished
• avoid dreary people like the plague
• get out and see stuff that is cool.  Consciously.

Wish I could make more art, more good art specifically.

What works for you?  Do you do this consciously?

Just wondering.
