MOMMY:  Addie, you seem to be having a sad morning.
ADDIE:  Yeah.  I just don't think I'm going to be happy.
MOMMY:  I have an idea!  One thing I know always makes you happier is if you do something very nice to make someone else happy.  I happen to know for a fact that it makes you happy when you make others happy.
ELLIE:  Mommy, don't worry.  I can help her!
... and at the end of the day, I had this gem to cheer me up.  When I expressed how happy I was to receive such a beautiful gift, Addie smiled her big beautiful smile and said "It worked!  I had the best day EVER!!!"
