"In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." Kahlil Gibran

why is life like this?

I've noticed lately, a gloom seems to be hanging in the air. Several people I know or read, seem to be having what is referred to as "a bad day". I've been in a kind of funk myself for a couple of days.

There's no special thing, action or reason for these days to pop up out of nowhere. I used to get them more often than I do now. In those days, I would wallow in self pity and take one bad day and make it last a week.

I've learned, over the years, that the best thing to do when they hit is to move. Do something..no matter how trivial it may seem...take some kind of action...wash a dish, sweep the floor, go for a walk, play with a pet, call a friend...any kind of action. For me at least, that seems to break the chain of thought and often will pull me out of the doldrums.

I often seek out someone, or something to make me laugh, even when I don't feel like it. A Three Stooges comedy will get me to gigglin every time. One of my children is very adept at getting me to laugh and pee at the same time. I have her number on speed dial, just in case.

I keep several craft projects going at the same time so there is never the excuse that "there's nothing to do."

Its when I sit in the chair and stare into space..the bad vibes seem to find a home and make themselves comfortable in my head. If my hands are busy, the head seems to follow.

I often give myself permission to cry...with a time limit.
I find it uncomfortable to sit on the pity pot for very long.
