One day several years ago when I was feeling grumpy and down I went to the gym anyway, got on the treadmill and started to exercise. I thought to myself: "What do I have to be grateful for?" After 10 or twenty steps a thought came to mind, a few steps later another, then they started coming, one after another, rapidly, almost one a step!

So, anymore, what I do when I am feeling down is reflect on what I am grateful for.

Every night before she goes to bed a lady I know writes down five things she is grateful for that day. She sleeps peacefully.

BTW, hokey-pokey is a flavor of ice cream in New Zealand, honeycomb toffee, I believe.
