A short book with 35 little sayings that can uplift you and as the title says keep your spirits up. These sayings are accompanied by some beautiful art work. The pictures correspond to the saying on the opposite page. ( )

Just as others in the Elf-Help series, Keeping-up-your-spirits Therapy is thoughtfully conceived, beautifully written, and chock full of wisdom. R.W. Alley's illustrations set the perfect note to deliver 35 spirit-lifting bits of advice. The day that I first opened it, there were the three that particularly spoke to my condition the day I opened this little book:
4. Think of a special friend. There's someone who loves you because you're you.
11. Don't despair. A broken heart can mend if you give God all the pieces.
13. Cherish your memories. Recall those that make you smile.
30. Accept suffering as a way of uncovering true values. You may not feel it, but you're growing.

These Elf-Help wisdom bits didn't just lift my mood; they reminded me of the things that first pulled me down. Help yourself to an Elf hug. Give one to a friend. ( )
