Sharing tools

My 23 year old son called today...he sounded kind of down.  I asked what was wrong; he has just started college, decided that he needs to become more educated and is following through.  He is bipolar and has VERY good days and VERY bad days.  He says that there is nothing really wrong, he is just scootin' along.

I asked him to try waking up in the morning and clapping his hands and saying "I am going to have a great day".  He laughed at me; I said try it. He says, "do you do it?". I admitted that I do not clap but I go into the bathroom and address myself in the mirror and smile and say "I am going to have a great day".  I explained that , while every day is not great, we have the power to make our own day better, the oppotunity to change things.  He chuckled a little more; but, I think that he just may try it. We'll see.  It was nice sharing that little tool with him.  I know that it can work for him, if he lets it...............
