So, even though life can s u c k at times...question for you to ponder<3

I gotta say...

with all the randomness happening around me lately (What else is new? My last name should be Murphy cause I am the living murphys law....)

Sometimes there is a light at the end of the tunnel...

I was thinking about this today...

What are some things that get you through the hard times aside from amazing friends?

I know this sounds nuts, but the movie- PS I love you, for some reason gets me out of any funk and makes me feel like life is precious and worth spending the extra time living rather than complaining...

music. at high volumes. and singing at the top of my lungs!

faith. My mom has always told me that God only gives you as much as he knows you can handle....
And even with all that my mom has been through over the last few months, she still says it. If mom says it, it must be true right?

HUGS! Easy way to make myself feel better is a hug from DH!

I have had a lot of crappy things happen to me over the past 2-3 years or so and lately whenever I get down I try to reflect on all of the great things and people I have in my life. There are people out there who have so much less than I do and go through so much more turmoil and still find a way to keep a smile on their face. So when I get really really sad, I try to think of at least one thing I am grateful for. Even thinking something as simple as 'I feel blessed I have a warm bed to sleep in' at night helps me change my perspective on almost any situation. I am sure that sounds weird to some people but it sure has gotten me through some horrible times!

Edited to say Ice cream helps too!

seeing or thinking about my nieces and nephews always helps me. Theres just something about babies and children that just put a smile on your face (i know some teachers might think differently ) maybe its the innocence they have and how they look at life but when im feeling down and life *****! and I dont think its gonna get any better I see them and remember all the blessings and good things that I do have might sound cheesy but honestly thats what helps me!

For me is a good laugh! Laugh so hard that it hurts. That has gotten me out of downers.

Alcohol...lol....JK!

Sometimes it's a song I hear - sometimes it talking w/ an old friend & catching up & just being able to vent.

DH does help a lot of the time - but sometimes - I just need a girlfriend!

This board & all my wonderful new friends have helped me keep my sanity MANY times - & keep me laughing - esp when I was so depressed that I didnt think I was able to laugh.

& sometimes - it's just a good old fashioned cry - I find crying & laughing so cathartic... I know I sound like a weirdo

i freaking love that movie!! it is one of the cutest movies ever!!

honestly i dont really know what gets me out of a funk besides DH and friends...i tend to overreact over everything so basically when i sit an realize that umm my life is not that bad, and all the good in my life thats what gets me over it i guess

but listening to music helps! i can hear any song, about anything and relate it somehow to my life! LOl
