- Sounds like misunderstanding. Surely not their intent.

- I aways think of a certain special someone.

- Even if that certain special someone pokes your heart with a stick?

- Sit outside or near an open window where you can catch a breeze and blare music. Thinking about all the positive things you can make out of this bummer day.

- Also a really good idea! Whenever I'm going through a tough time, like an extended tough time, I try to make a list of three great things about each day... that kind of positive thinking is really transformative when you're knee-deep in crap.

- 1. Go to the batting cages.
2. Grab a few (poetry) anthologies and read/sleep in the park
3. Get lost in The Art Institute for a few hours. - dandelions.

- I bet the batting cages are perfect on a crummy day. Send a few balls way out there...

- this is why my daughter won't talk to me anymore. I'm too depressing. (which really doesn't help matters. btw.)

- The best mood lifter is spending time with friends. Instant happiness. :)

- Spend the afternoon (or day) outside with music playing, clouds above me, perhaps some paint, and something to quench a thirst.... and hope to flip the day with that. :)

- Sounds loooooovely. I think you know how to spend days well.
One problem I always had with painting outside, and it may just be that I live near marshy swampland, is little flying bugs deciding to get stuck in the wet paint. Still enjoyable though, even if removing them sort of makes things messy. - clare..L-Y-V-A-N

- I'm about to head outside in a few to try and get my mind off things.
I know exactly what you mean. I have to pick my days right... otherwise I'll spend half my time trying to get a mosquito, flying ants, little grass, or leaves out of the paint. But the breeze seems calm enough today, and it's not too too humid outside... so we'll see.
.....I also left out how listening to David Byrne makes me feel happy when I'm bummed.

- I sit on the web looking at and trying to solve or help other people with their problems, when I hear what problems other people have mine seem to look pale in significance

- I listen to some music I really like and I eat a bunch of food I love. Or I watch a movie. Or read a good book. Or talk to people I like!

- I'm thinking this last one might be a go for today! The plan of taking nap after nap isn't working out in a beneficial sort of way.
