Rainbow Oktober '76	Whenever possible, lately, crack jokes on here where appropriate, I play with my feline, just make the best of things and try not to sweat what I cannot control, even say the serenity prayer in my prayers, and just try and live right. And try and do at-home spa treatments whenever possible. But mainly lean heavily on the Lord and trust in Him. I have a bad habit of abusing sweets, now going to try an break it.

Diane M	In all honesty...I crater. But just at first. Life will always throw you curve balls when you least expect them. Live for today...you cannot predict tomorrow, or for that matter, the next few minutes. Don't worry about things, because you waste so much energy doing that.

comingsoon251	Let's look at what others have done... Some raid the fridge; some go shopping or spend money on line; some take to drugs or alcohol; and some just look at the glass as half full and not half empty. We all have had these and the older we get the more we have had! Of course, the other way is taking ones own life and that should not even be considered! One good way is take the advice of St. Paul, who said to look at the good things and the bad will take care of themselves. So, he said, do not think on them! Just do what you know you are suppose to do, and that is all you can do! Remember, it rains on all of us, but the sun will come out! So do not stay in when it does come out, thinking about the rain!

butterfliesRfree	TRUST ME -- we've lost our home, I've had a few lay offs, my oldest son is a drug addict and disappeared a couple years ago and my only other son is going to Iraq.......THIS IS ONLY PART of my life -- you'd be surprised. Here is what I do..........REMEMBER, there ARE always things to be thankful for. There is ALWAYS someone worse off than myself. Something a friend said to me once was "the ball bounces down and it generally bounces back up again and we need to learn to bounce with the ball" Remember, life is a journey......it has many many downs -- those downs are there to TEACH US to appreciate the GOOD things in life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scooter_loves_his_dad	We always have to remember that while sometimes life will throw these curveballs by no means that you are down & out. The thing to do is not let these things get the best of us & not destroy us mentally. We have to get up accept what happened & plan the next move. For the time being u can put music u like play games that u like to distract yourself. Yu can even watch a tv show that u like. Have faith & just think to yourself that better things are heading your way soon. Iced tea Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
