Let's face it..sometimes life gives us way more than we can handle..right?

Other than scrapbooking, what do you do to relax when it gets to be too much? Pray? Yoga? Read? Hot bath?

I like to pray and I used to do yoga every day...not so much anymore as I can't find the time.

Life more then we can handle ... really .... lol ...

Definately pray-when it seems I can't bear things on my own I remember that I can't-that we need the strength from God-this world can be waaay to hard to go it alone
Then I retreat and hunker down with DH r watch a movie with the DD
oh, and shopping!!

Read, hot baths, music, walk the dog...or a damned good cry (sadly I seem to be doing a lot of this last one at the moment).

ahh Suzie no more tears honey ..... smile :)

Oh honey me too...

So sorry you are feeling blue Suzy, I hnpe it passes soon! I am a cryer as well. I usually turn to prayer and music. But in all honesty, I turn to Tim and ask him to hold me. That always works.!

Aww.. Amy..the darling hubbys always do the trick don't they? I was thinking last night I am SO thankful my hubby has so much faith..he really does..

Generally life does not get the best of me but I do remember sleepless nights caused by stress - usually work related. When possible I confront whatever is causing my stress and angst because if I don't, then I don't sleep. If I don't sleep, I don't function. But there are always things in life that are beyond our control as hard as we may try to stay in control. One of my big coping mechanisms is to crawl into myself. You might find me sitting in my chair with a blank look on my face, total silence. I am processing and I need this alone time to keep my head straight. I don't want to talk, I don't want to do anything other than sit and think and be alone. I love alone time. I also love music and will turn to that to pull myself out of a bad mood.

I find a good nappy always helps LOL! or a long hot bath..mmmmm or COMFORT FOOD!!!!!!! yummy

Awwww Amy that is sooo sweet ....

If its really bad I would rather scream and cuss then be silent lol if I don't it just festers...and I will blow..which no one likes...lo.

Thanks for the positive thoughts girls..still feeling a bit weepy but I haven's cried much this week.

This has been me.. and well is me too! lol

I need quite time to focus on how to get things back on track.. I look at the situation or many of them which seems to be of late.. and try to figure out solutions to the problems..

I do pray too.. But I tend to carry my burdin for a long while before I just let it go.. Even if its something I know in my heart that I cannot fix or resolve.. I think it buggs me that I can't so I will still hold on to it..

I sometimes need the "alone" time like Maggi too - I think her description was perfect.

Big (((HUG)) sweetie!! Hope things get better for you..

Tammy I agree..I think I want to fix it myself...when I need to let God take handle of it.

Big hugs to everyone, I know life can be hard. What I do besides scrapbooking is going outside to a park, getting a nice shady spot and letting the air breeze and hit my face, its relaxing, and relieves me of stress...makes me forget. There is nothing like nature to heal you.
