*Sigh*
This time of year can be rough for many folks. One of the keys (for me) to stayin' positive, is laughter. After all, it is the best medicine.
Here are some things I like to do:
Watch a funny movie. Slapstick comedies always make me giggle no matter how silly they are. Airplane's famous one liners like "Surely you can't be serious? "I am serious... and don't call me Shirley." still cracks me up. Or in Caddyshack when Rodney Dangerfield says at a frou frou dinner party, "The last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it." There's no better feelin' than a big ol' belly laugh to the point of tears.
Go for a walk. Doesn't matter whether y'all live in the city or country. Get those bones up and out the door. Y'all may huff and puff for the first few tries, but don't get discouraged. Just keep pluggin' along. I guarantee y'all will feel better lickety-split.
Plan a garden. Again, y'all don't need to live in the country to have one. Even if ya plant herbs in lil' pots on your window sill, it is just as excitin' knowin' you helped make somethin' grow.
Listen to music from when y'all were a young'un and dance, lip sync or air guitar. I personally like to pick up each one of my canine girls and dance around the house with them. (I've been known to do it outside too) Who cares if I've got two left feet and can't dance worth a lick! Darla loves to disco, Hannah is a Skynard fan and Gracie enjoys it when we "moonwalk".
Got any tips y'all want to share? Tell me about 'em!

Awww, thanks you guys! Y'all are too kind! :> )
Peanut,
There isn't a time that I don't come to your blog and laugh. You have one of the sweetest senses of humor out of anyone I know.
I vote to come to your blog to beat the winter blues....How about closing your eyes and imagining dancing your first dance with hubby the night of your wedding.....or laying on a beach in Hawaii with a tall cold slushy drink while your skin is browning in the sun with a beautiful ocean breeze hitting your cheeks...Man oh Man..I feel better already.
Thanks Chickee!!
Blessings and Hugs,

My Mom always told me to be careful about thinking life was just too horrible... because... I just might be living somebody else's dream.
That's nice and all BUT I sure LOVE coming to visit your blog! You always put a smile on my face!
Jean :)
