Yeah, I feel the same way!.....I should have put a in my post when I said, "whaddya mean"!

Howie hugs, chocolate, funny movies, and time.

Say a little pray....go shopping....and have a glass of vino when I get home and put my feet up as I say to myself....self....you will get through this. And if I cry for a while, then I just cry and get it over with.

I will go and take it out on my body - beating it into a happy state using weights.

Going for a drive also calms me down.

Petting my dog.

Sleeping, if I can get myself relaxed, also helps.

If it's something, well, I just feel whiny about, I'm probably tired and try to snooze.

If there's really something bad in my life, a walk in the woods.

And cross stitchin' every day keeps my sane. Or at least as sane I want to be.

Talking to someone about it who truly listens.

Taking a walk outside alone, just me and my camera.

Hugging my children.

Singing and dancing.

And as superficial as it sounds, a nice compliment can do a LOT to cheer me up.

When something gets me down ,sad or mad...
I clean things I usually wait for the last moment
I go for walks
I rope jump
I take a trip down memory lane
I listen always to music and sing along
I write poems
I bake

A couple of things I do to get me out of a funk:

Get some activity. Go outside and take a walk, watch the cows, play in my garden.

What games do cows play. Football, hockey, cards, board or bored games?

Wow! Everyone has such great ideas for coping!
I have a tendancy to bake french bread when I'm angry (Because I can beat it to death! ), fruit pastries when I'm sad, quick breads when I'm lonely or missing someone, yeast breads when I am happy. Basically, I bake. A lot.

But when I am really, really down or terribly upset, I go get on Grace's bed and she will come to me and give me kissies and hugs, and long eyeball stares until I can't help but laugh. She heals my soul when the wounds are deep. She is my sunshine, my little lovie who gives my heart such joy! I have to feel better then, because everything else just slips away!
I am blessed!
