What do you do when you get the blues?

[SmilingBlueDog]

I know we all get the blues now & then, so what do you do to lift your spirits?
I just can't make anything feeling like this ...

go for a walk?

[miascloset]

Take a break..exercise, someone in another thread suggested music. Sing!

[SmilingBlueDog]

Thanks for the suggestions photomcgee & mia...
I'm all better ... a couple of sunny days helped too :)

Did you hear about the senior citizens in Japan volunteering to work in the irradiated mess so others won't have to do that? People are calling them suicide squads but the volunteers don't like that. They want to be referred to as veterans.
If they can do THAT, I can do anything and handle anything this day dishes out. They go with God.

Sorry, didn't mean to be a downer. It just gives me strength.

Eat chocolate! Then eat more chocolate when I feel better!

Take strength from Mother Nature and Father Time by:
1. Sitting on a big rock and soaking up "Big Rock Energy".
2. Sun Bathing if you have some Sun that is. If not vitamin D helps.
3. Take a 2 hour soak in a tub with Rose Petals sprinkled into it.
4. One two minute hug every two hours until relief is felt.
5. Find something to laugh at, laughing is the best medicine and then share it and laugh with someone else.

Celti... chocolate... the wonder drug ;) It really works!

Hop on my scooter and go for a nice ride. I just make sure that I put on a bit of sunscreen so that I don't come back burned!

I watch a Buster Keaton movie with a big bowl of kettle corn popcorn. I actually did that the other day after receiving some not so awesome news.

I sit in the sun to create and work with fun themes that make me laugh while I watch them evolve into a finished work of Art and or crafting.

Go for a walk in the woods....or dance!

[DelilahBurlesque]
