[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 507757"] I hope you have fun tonight. I am sorry things are so bad right now. It seems that life likes to kick us when we are down. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, try to put a smile on your face and keep going. Eventually, you do walk thru and past the bad times.I have to keep reminding my own self that too. When I am down - which is a lot lately - I tend to want to be a hermit and go about my days head down without speaking unless necessary. Which of course adds to my misery. This is going to sound really stupid, but sometimes when I am feeling horrible - I try to give everyone I encounter that day an honest compliment. The clerk at the grocery store, the UPS guy, the attendance lady at easy child's school, the neighbor I see when I get the mail etc. Nothing grandiose but a sincere compliment. It's crazy, but to see their face light up and to get an honest to goodness smile and a "thank you" really brightens my own day. And reminds me that I care about people and people care about me. I've just outed myself as a dork [/QUOTE]
