New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| In Pamplona, Spain, today is the beginning of Los Sanfermines, a festival honoring Saint Fermin, which climaxes on July 14th. The opening of the fiesta is celebrated with fireworks and the launch of a giant rocket called "el chupinazo." Los Sanfermines is said to be a long festival celebrating happiness, and at the end, the people of Pamplona traditionally sing, "Poor me, poor me, the San Fermin Fiesta has ended."
Let this inspire you to be happy. Write a gratitude list of ten things you are thankful for or blessed by. It doesn't matter if they're large or small, finite or infinite. Write them down. The act of writing a gratitude list and "counting our blessings" can improve our mood and make us feel happier-true magic at work! Today, whenever you remember, count your blessings, give thanks for all you enjoy, and be happy! No time to sing "poor me." |
