Also have some good friends who I can vent to, and they make me feel better afterwards Also, you never know what someone is going thru just by looking at them. I put on my happy face, and know that people say, "she looks fine". Well, the only person who really knows how I am all the time is the hubby. So,never assume. <br />A friend whose sister has 3 autistic boys was complaining to her about some things happening in her life, she stopped and said that she was sorry to complain when the sister has so much more to deal with. The sister told her that everyone has "stuff", and we all need to be there to support each other. Sorry this is so long; but have been dealing with my problems for such a long time, and most times also am 90%. So, 10% isn't too bad now is it?

If we didn't have times where we weren't top shape then we'd be terribly weird.

Thank you so much for your comments. <br /><br />Christie, you are right,life is not that way, eventhough you look at someone and think that they have such a pretty and easy life, you never know what is going through their mind and what they are struggling with. Also, our capacity to deal with adversity is different. That is why I wanted to share the post with my blogger friends. I think we are all in this together "going through life". I hope my post will help some people out there to endure their hard times a little more easily.<br /><br />Quiltzyx- <br />You have such an amazing friend! I never thought about setting a timer to have a self pitty party, sounds like it is very helpful and effective. I hope your friend is doing well. Please give her my get well wishes. :)<br /><br />I wish I could talk to you all and have more ideas to get back to our happy self. We need to get any help that we can, right? I hope that everyone is doing well and living their life fully and happily to the our best ability. Because the time here is so precious.Sachikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773154350531152547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-89043839503265720302011-10-01T20:40:44.773-06:002011-10-01T20:40:44.773-06:00Having suffered with getting cancer, having cancer...Having suffered with getting cancer, having cancer, and the after effects I understand what you are saying.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. I read your earlier posts too, about your admiration for your mum and your illness. I have a long-term illness that has to be managed on a daily basis. I've had it for 8 years, and I can relate to your feelings around finding yourself feeling low sometimes. I have found all of the things you have listed as useful to help you feel better, useful too. I find being creative and writing my blog a real help. Life doesn't always look how I thought it was going to look, but it's still really great! I'm so glad to have found your blog. I also wanted to let you know, I lived in Japan for five years and loved it!
