Happiness vampires

' "Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth...they drain peace, hope and happiness out of the air around them. Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself."  [from Happy Potter] [amendment 16-Nov-2011:  I meant Harry Potter, of course; a happy typo, maybe? ;-) ]

Harry has to fend off these energy vampires. And so do we.

In the land of Hogwarts, Dementors cannot be killed - only chased away and kept at bay with a special charm that is the "magical manifestation of good will and happiness." Same thing in the real world, right?  (...) And as I reacquaint myself with joy and gratitude, the Dementors fade into the distance. Good riddance. '

This day is what you make it

"for you.

from me.

maybe hang it in your bathroom as a daily to-do list.

or stick it on a cabinet in your cubicle.

or slide it into the front of a binder.

put it wherever you need a little reminder that this day is what you make it."
