Roller Coaster of Life
Life's Ups and Downs
Life is precious. Life is fun. But sometimes life can be like a roller coaster ride and leave some of us feeling not so well. I have my days and seasons when I feel very stressed and overwhelmed with life, and it quite often leads to despair and depression. On this blog, I share some struggles and insights, as well as the things that have helped me, so that I can deal with it.
NOTE ...And I offer a whole list of personally created "Therapies" to help you.

My List of Things I Want to Accomplish Before I Die
- * Get out of my pj's before it is time to go to bed again.
- * Remember that I need to eat and drink when I get busy on the computer.
- * Stop what I'm doing long enough to take my shower in the morning instead of 3pm.
- * Remember that I need to develop good sleeping habits..so I need to get off the computer and go to bed early and regularly...NOT this 3am business!
- * Try to get in the mood to house clean.
- * Try to remember how I USED to get organized.
Come on...you can smile better than that!
* * * THOUGHTS * * *
"Smile and laugh....be happy today"!
"If you don't learn from your mistakes, what's the use of making them"?
"God gave us not only the ability to breathe but plenty of air".
"It's a miracle what a smile can do when someone aims one directly at you"!
"If you don't learn from your mistakes, what's the use of making them"?

"Do not despair of your life. You have force enough to overcome your obstacles." ----Henry David Thoreau
Need a Laugh?
Laughter is good medicine
~~~ Quote ~~~
"...we should retire to our beds early and arise early. ...we should not run faster than we have strength. ...we should use moderation in all good things. ...the more food we eat in its natural state and the less it is refined without additives, the healthier it will be for us. Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies in certain elements in the body can promote mental depression. ...Rest and physical exercise are essential, and a walk in the fresh air can refresh the spirit." ----Ezra Taft Benson
