Why is it...

Why is it that good things always seem to be accompanied by bad things? You can have a perfect day, filled with everything a good day should be, then someone calls and drops something hugely sad on you. And suddenly i'm right back to where i was to start with, alone and depressed. It is like the universe is completely against me feeling happy. I'm trying, I really am, but it just seems like there are these huge roadblocks in my way all the time.

Try not to take on other peoples burdens. try to seperate yourself from their pain.

When the big and bad news comes....can you think of the good that did happen that day? It may not make you feel amazingly better but even a little better is good.

Hear the news but don't own it. If you are spiritual, give it to God and lift that person up in prayer. Sometimes more often than not that is all we can do anyway. Take Care.

Try not to dwell on the negative ! It's hard at first but you can do it.Remember only you can chose how you want to feel.

Law of averages? Yin and yang? Balance of the universe? Divine intervention? It has a lot of names =D

Well, on one hand you have to take the good with the bad. Balance and all.

One the other hand, maybe you subconsciously believe you can't have a completely good day and you make it come true through your thoughts.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
