Hello to Wednesday! Only two appointments today, so hopefully I will get the pumpkins and fall flowers I bought from Flower Power Farm set up on the porch and in the flowerboxes for the season. I am so far behind in everything.
Today, we are talking about how we handle bad days. In my world, it all depends on what is making it bad. If I am upset by something a family member has done, I will likely clean the house or dig in the garden. If it has something to do with work, I have to walk it off or spend some mindless time scrolling through social media for happy, positive thoughts. If it is related to a recent loss, I just isolate myself. I can't focus on reading when I am having a bad day, but the Bible always brings a sense of comfort, and I find I pick it up more often when I am upset.
How about you? How do you handle bad days?

Cleaning is a great distraction. It also helps with managing stress, at least for me. Also, social media can help but I find you have to be actively looking for the positive, or else you'll end up scrolling through a mire of despair.
Ooh, cleaning is a good one! I have vigorously scrubbed my tub and floors and stuff on bad days before to get both dirt and frustration out of the house. Hehe.
Thanks for stopping by. I find I do my best cleaning when I'm angry about something. Unfortunately for my house, I don't get angry very often... lol
Cleaning is my best stress reliever, George. Totally agree on the social media thing. Thanks for visiting.
LOL! Me, too, Lydia. Thanks for visiting.
LOL! Maybe you should ask someone to make you angry so the house will get attention. Just kidding. Thanks for visiting today.
