Recently, I joined/liked a face book page called Mental Health. I really have enjoyed it because it is very active, and is full of positive thoughts, questions to ponder, and encouragement. Not long ago, they posted a great exercise that I decided to duplicate on my blog. This is what it is…

“The power of positive words is life giving. Beginning with the letter A and ending it with Z….can we make a list of one word for each letter (A-Z) and include WHY this word makes YOU feel positively happy?”

I have decided that I am going to try to post a different letter/word every day – starting with the letter A – and explain why the word makes me feel positively happy. I might even start over from A again after I reach the end of the alphabet.

Caring – This word makes me feel positively happy because it reminds me of how many people I have in my life that really do care about me. There was a time in my life – not too long ago – when I believed that no one cared about me. I am so happy that I was wrong. The people that really do care about me do so no matter what my circumstances are. They do not resent my mental health, and physical health issues. They build me up!

When I think of the letter C something else comes to mind that also makes me feel positively happy. When I was a kid Cookie Monster used to sing a song called C Is For Cookie. I have been singing the song all morning, so I decided to include the lyrics here as well.

Now what starts with the letter “C”?
“Cookie” starts with “C”!
Let’s think of other things that starts with “C”!
Uh. . .Uh. . . Who cares about da other things?!

(CHORUS)x2

“C” is for Cookie that’s good enough for me,
“C” is for cookie that’s good enough for me,
“C” is for cookie that’s good enough for me,
Oh! cookie, cookie, cookie starts with “C”!

Hey, You know what? A round cookie with one bite out of it looks like a “C”
A round donut with one bite out of it also looks like a “C” but it is not as good as a cookie
Oh, and the moon sometimes looks like a “C” but you can’t eat that
So…
(CHORUS)
Cookie Cookie Cookie Starts with “C”
Cookie Cookie Cookie Starts with “C”

I would love to see what you come up with for the letter C!
