Feeling a little down...

Awww--sorry to hear you're down...I haven't been "with it" for awhile either and attribute it to the hot weather we're having here now...talk about brain fog...LOL Anyway one time in my dollar store I found this coffee mug with this saying on it...and just loved it It's also posted here and is the full version http://www.geocities.com/dont_quit_anonymous/ DON'T QUIT: [i]"...When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don't quit. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit... It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!..." [/i]

Thinking positive seems to generate more energy yo get on and be creative. Negative thoughts go nowhere and only take you downwards to a rut. When I seem to be in a dark moment I tell myself that it never gets darker than midnight. Soon the dark midnight sky will brighten and the clouds will appear... then I just have to find the one with the silver lining and take it from there

Personally I think we all go thru these times in our life. The main issue is what we do when experiencing these times that helps bring us out of these as well. I know for myself when I am feeling down I will often just find things to do that I enjoy, or Pray, listen to some uplifting Christian music, and usually come in here in myLot and post a little bit and usually find things going a lot better soon as well. But I do like what that Frame said and there is so much Truth to it for sure.

These are some quotes I just shared with a mylot friend who was also feeling down. It helped me feel better so I hope they make you feel better too. Mark Twain The best way to cheer yourself is to cheer somebody else up. Abraham Lincoln And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Louis Agassiz I cannot afford to waste my time making money. James Dean Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today. Richard Bach Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive it isn't.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been down for a really long time and I just couldn't seem to stop it from happening. My step mom suggested one thing to try, she told me to start living my life for me. So now I take myself out on dates on Friday nights. I figure why not my husband is out with his friend that night and I'm alone. So why not? Do you know it's actually really fun.

i feel for you friend.. there was this time when i felt like just sleeping until everything's over... i hope these inspirational qoutes will brighten up your day and will give you hope... "the darkest time of the day is before sunrise." "everytime rain comes, all birds fly for shelter, but the eagle alone flies above the clouds to avoid the rain. life is a matter of perspective. either you grumble because rose have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses."

Can't think of a positive quote right now. Just keep your chin up as things will get better. Might take time but life has it's way of improving over time. Just when you think you are at your lowest, things change. Keeping a positive attitude is important. The good man above will help guide you. Take care and have a great day, carolbee

Hi der, i found this quote quiet interesting, it says.." I can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. It's all how you look at it." And you have two wonderful children and should definitely brighten up your day as children can really teach us to be happy without any reason!

that's the way to do it... always think positively! my cousin has gone through difficult phases in her life that now she is consoled with the positive quotes friends and family share on a daily basis. here's one i'd like to share: [i][b]God knows what's best for us, so why should we complain... we always want the sunshine but He knows there must be rain. we love the sound of laughter and the merriment of cheer... but our hearts will lose their tenderness if we never shed a tear. God tests us not to punish us but to help us meet tomorrow. so whenever we are in trouble and everything goes wrong... it's just God working on us to make our spirit strong.[/b][/i] here's a little trick you can do. find a funny photo or a favorite object that always make you smile. whenever you are down, just look at this item. it will give a reason to put back the smaile on your face. hope it works!

Go outside and look at the sky. If there's bad weather try to figure out the shapes of the clouds and the skyline and see how interesting it really is. If there's good weather look at all the colours and shades of those colours. Then see how depressed you still feel.

live life...love much...laugh often..lets enjoy life...lets soar high... there will be a time of every person's life that they feel down, and empty and it is something a person have to go through...because you'll never get stronger without feeling it... we all get stumbled and it is a challenge to us how to deal with it...the world is full of challenges, but if you always think the bright sides of your life even when you are down, thats where you can get strength...just always know someone is watching over us, who can see things we went through and he does know what we all deserve in the end...
