Keep smiling

Herewithin Posts: 23 Joined: 2004/09/04	2005/05/31, 03:20 PM Ive been through a bit of a rough patch lately, coupled with becoming single, overworking approx 60+ hours a week and trying to renovate a house lifes becoming a bit much. Im having trouble remembering the things worth smiling for and being happy about. So i thought id start a thread to see what others use to keep them on the positive side no matter what life is throwing at them, no matter what is happening they still carry on and power through the bad times to make it to the seemingly ever elusive great times. Ive had a think myself and I believe im lucky for what I do have, I have great friends and an active lifestyle that I should be damn thankful for the ability to have such a lifestyle! So come on, what makes you smile and feel content? Rob:)

When I get up in the morning, I say to myself "If this is the best day I ever have for the rest of my life, I won't waste a moment of it complaining, no matter what the challenges may be." What makes me smile? My beautiful new grandaughter, of course! -------------- Anni ******* In my head, I am out of my mind....

My daughters squeeky giggles make me smile. I have a huge family, 5 siblings...so I just call home and someone is sure to answer and cheer me up with stupid news... For me the strength to perserve comes from believing in destiny. I work my frustration out :dumbbell: Then I take a steaming shower, reflect on how far I've come in life and pray for better days- the best is yet to come:)

Its like he just knows and then he will turn around and yell at the person standing next to me "dont make my mommy sad" even if they were not the person that upset me..... But what get the thro the day no matter what happens.... is the thought that I have 2 children that will love me no matter what I do and they will always be mine no matter what!!!!! Just that thought alone makes me happier than anything else ever could! -------------- God wont give you anything you cant handle!
