Advantages: keeps me going, love a good laugh

Disadvantages: I get too depressed sometimes

When Jill Murphy invited me to write about my favourite things, it was so hard to pick just one.
I think my favorutie thing is daydreaming.

Even though I dream of winning the lottery and having a Posh and Becks lifestyle, I do wonder if I would be happy.
I think we need the dreams to keep us going, sometimes reality can be such a shock to the system.
The rich people in life seem to have so many troubles in life. They get depressed, take drugs, become alcoholics and marry 300 times.
Maybe my little world is far better after all.
I think winning the lottery would take all my dreams away from me, it would be as if there was nothing left to wish for. I think we all need our dreams to keep us going, but if they came true, what then?

I also love daydreaming, about faraway places in the sun, I do love planning to go on as many holidays as I can.
The minute I come back from a holiday, I'm on the internet daydreaming away to where I can go next.
I still can't work out which is best, I really think the best part is planning the holiday, not actually being there.
I research for months until I've made a decision to where I want to go.
When I get depressed which is quite often, this really keeps me occupied, it uplifts my mood, then I can dream of faraway places.I have to have something to keep me going, I've been like this for years now.
A sudden black cloud might sweep over me from nowhere and even anti-depressants aren't strong enough.
If I couldn't daydream and wish, then where would I be?. I sometimes wonder.

Also theres my sense of humour, I work in a job where at last I can be me.
I love the chit chat I can make with my customers, I'm only selling boating holidays, but knowing I love going on holiday so much, makes me feel wonderful that I've booked something for them.
It really makes my day when somebody says "thankyou you have been so helpful and pleasant&
quot;.
It costs nothing to be cheerful and pleasant to customers, I would also like to be treated this way when dealing with someone myself.
There are too many miserable people about, just because you have had a hard day doesn't mean you can't be civil to somebody else.
I have a silly sense of humour, but I make so many people laugh, it makes me smile to see them laugh.
Try it yourself, see how many people you make laugh, or smile. Laughter makes everybody feel a whole lot better.

Well sorry if this doesn't make sense to you all, what I'm trying to say is,
Whatever your circumstances are, try to be happy, if only on the outside, smile a bit more after all there are worse off people than yourself.
Daydreaming doesn't cost anything and if it makes you happy, then do it.
