Everyone needs to really have a good laugh from time to time. Sometimes I think we tend to get caught up in all the sad things that are happening in our families or around the world, and it makes for a difficult stressful time for all of us..I got a discussion deleted because it was considered against the rules...but I just wanted to give everyone a good laugh..I will try harder next time to cause you to laugh without it getting deleted... Do you find yourselves dwelling on sad things? What do you do to make your day go better? I know it is hard to think positive all the time. We all have some kind of stress in our lives. I make sure I take time out for myself, everyday..I have to or I can't function..What do you do?

well all i can do to make my day go better is to keep thinking positive and keep my head up high,because if not i will lose it.i try hard everyday to have some mommy time for myself,but it doesnt work out that way with my 3 young babies.sometimes its so hard just to get dressed in the morning and comb my hair.and trust me everyday is so stressful between potty training 3 kids,feeding,playing,nap time,house work,doing my hair customers,cooking home made meals everyday,i would love to have some time on my own,but if i feel it gets too crazy i just walk away a few minutes calm myself down and just put a smile on my face when i look at my babies and i say everything is gonna be ok.some days i cant even fuction and with all the yelling,crying etc,i sometimes dont even know what im doing.lol they always say god gives you what you can handel,well he gave me alot,but all worth it.

You are a very busy mommy. I commend you for your love of your little ones. It must be overwhelming some times...Our children are all worth it though. Every day will get easier. I wish I could be there to help you..As long as your babies are happy then nothing else matters...

I am so glad..It does get easier, you just experience different things as they grow. My daughter is 24 and my son is 19. My grandsons are 5 and 3 and they keep my daughter and me busy.. It does go by quickly so make sure you give hugs and kisses and good words of advice while they grow...Always tell them you love them no matter what....

I'm sad with you, and I don't see anything wrong with trying to put a smile on peoples faces in this day and age. Actually there isn't really anywhere else you could put a smile. Try not to be too sad, there are some of us friends that will laugh at you, err, I mean with you, as long as you keep trying. Put a smile back on your dial, and I await your next funny post!

well you always manage to make me laugh, so ignore them, but yes at times its harder to be happy than it is to be sad, but with two little ones you don't have much time to dwell on the negative. i find sometimes i may burst into "if your happy and your know it clap your hands" i have been known to sing it more some days than others, the kids love it and that way they don't get to see if something is really bothering you and well it works sometimes and manages to make you forget what may be bothering you at the time. so alltogether now "if your happy and u know it clap your hands" ......

Oh, I must have missed your discussion. But making people laugh is a noble and important job! It is hard to stay positive sometimes, and sometimes I'm not sure how I do it myself. I don't have any time to take for myself these days it seems, between my illness and caring for my son, though perhaps my mylot time is my time for myself now that I think of it. I think honestly the way I stay positive is having friends who care about me, no matter what happens. =)

Coming to Mylot is a great stress reliever for me as well..Here is the discussion... There were muffins in the oven...one muffin says, "boy it sure is hot in here." and the only muffin says, "OH MY GOD, A TALKING MUFFIN."

First, that is horrible that your post was deleated! Now to your question, what do I do to make my day go better when I am sad? It all depends on just what made me sad. Usually the first thing I do is Pray, then I may put on some music, if it is really bad, I write, and sometimes I have my own pitty party, LOL Mostly I Pray and write.

I included it in a prior response if you would like to look at it. I do pray and I do love music. I sometimes do have a pity party..I think that is okay...LOL...When I was younger I wrote tons of poems when I was stressed.

You are one of the reasons I like coming onto mylot and answering your posts. They make me laugh a lot!! Sorry about your discussion being deleted, I know of a few that have been lately and I can't figure out why! My son seems to make me feel better when I am feeling a little down. I do make sure I take time out for myself though and it helps me to wind down and relax and not stress out too much!

Hi!Yeah,Laughter is the Best medicine.Sometimes,to get out of the web of Sorrow becomes difficult when laughter comes to the rescue.Ofcourse, it is not easy, but then why are friends made?? As per my experience, one phone call to my friend is enough.A simple talk is enough to motivate & remind your goals OR laugh recollecting some old times spent together.I am really thankful in that way. GOD BLESS!! www.creatingcolourfulfuture.com

I am leading a very stressful life taking care of my kid and my household chores. I do dwell on sad things sometimes. What i try to do to avoid my bad times is listen to some good muffins, munch chocolates, or read something interesting. This boosts me to look at the positive side of life.

Feona, you are doing great thing. As per me making others laugh is one of the best things in life. I too practise this now and then. Laughter is a medicine and is a good way of getting relaxed. Laughter is also a positive sign or positive way of living. One should always practise this, it works like a medicine for lot of ailments caused due to stress.

Hi Feona1962! That is true, Laughter is the best medicine..whatever ache you have. I do try to make my family and friends laugh even though I have the corniest jokes in my pocket but it sure makes someone feel better if you can make someone laugh even for just awhile. We have a lot of things going on and one laughter can make a difference in our day. If I make someone laugh I feel good and happy and the person that laughed feel good and happy too. I guess, that is priceless. Take care and have a nice day!

I think the best jokes are the ones we don't get right and then we laugh even harder, because we feel so stupid...lol... "Be Happy, Don't Worry." This is actually a song but I don't know who did it..

to tell you frankly, i am a happy-go-lucky guy and i always make jokes to my friends just for fun because as what i have experience laughing is really the best medicine and i do agree on that statement. it is good to make people laugh because it relieves bad experiences or negative feelings inside your heart, instead of facing the problem so bad , why will not you just stay in one place with friends and laugh. smile though your heart is aching, lol..
