10 rules for a happy life

1. Taking a walk is a privilege; you never know when it will be possible or when the weather will put obstacles, so if there is a moment, you have to set foot in motion regardless of whether the floor is wet or if snow is cold. it may always be worse, not having even a small chance to say hello to the rest of the world!.

2. Strangers change their status when we you give them the opportunity to smell you a bit, and you never know when you may find a good friend to play with from time to time, or share an anecdote.

3. Carrots are orange to see them better; if they would be green we could confuse them with grass. So whenever they are around, one must give them the opportunity to taste them. You never know when there will be a massive attack to end them.

4. Sleep is a pleasure to be repeated and perfected; we should not despise it because there are creatures that don't have a warm bed to lie down or cookie to enjoy along with their dreams.

5. Wake up and have the opportunity to do many activities in addition to sleep, you must also thank every day. It is true that sometimes is more comfortable to lie all day and enjoy to see the visit of birds or squirrels, but when our energy is up and the body allows it, why should not play around and burn all the energy?. After all, you never know what is going to hurt tomorrow.

6. Shots, pills and medical treatments are not so bad, but they are not fun at all. I hope one day doctors can find other ways to make us feel good, because nobody likes to be pecked. I ask doctors to think that Bubu and all her friends would like more fun and delicious ways to be healed. Even tough, I forgive doctors for all they make us suffer, because they give us more days with those we love!.

7. If you do not want to eat, don't forget mom and dad always have a trick, like bring your brothers to pretend they want to eat your food or change your brother's dish  to make you think that  is not your food ... yes, I know all tricks!, but there is no greater happiness than give them a smile of triumph!. Give a smile to someone every day and there will be always someone around to take care and share something with you.

8. Not everything is bad, only what it is not good, and at the end, each person decides what they want and how to see the world. When ever something looks ugly, you must look at it from a different perspective. Watching TV from one side or another of the sofa, does not change the film, only who hugs you on that side!.

9. Snow is beautiful from the first day to last; it always brings a different landscape. Rain makes our garden prettier from day one to last. Sun makes to go out the squirrels and I can have fun with them. Everything is necessary, even the wind makes dancing  all trees while cleans dead leaves, so we must learn to enjoy it all. Similar than  peeing whenever is possible and wherever you can.

10. We can't choose what to live, or how to live it, so it's not worth complaining about ugly things. If you think life is not fair or nice, paint it with smiles! So you will add the color you want and not what someone else imposes.

10.1. If you move while mom is trying to take a picture, do not worry, she will always seek the best photograph of her life next time.
