Dresser Top Tidbits

No matter how hard I try to keep dresser tops clear of "clutter,"  certain items end up there.

This morning I was looking at some of them.

While it is a great goal to choose to be happy, it's not always possible. Some days (or months) are just plain hard.

 I like the written reminder, shown below.  It's true, too, and I never forget what has made me cry.

In some piece of self-help suggestions, I read it was helpful to find a childhood photo of one's self and study it. 

 I did just that and hey, the expression on my face looks happy. That was a relief.

The frame is from a country my late hubs and I lived in, El Salvador, in Central America.

How about you?  Are you a clear dresser fan or do you have stuff on yours?
