What do you do?

When you're feeling down and out or even just depressed or sad, what do you do?  Do you have a sure-fire cure or way to feel better?  Do you find that when you're feeling low, you have a way to beat it?  What's your go-to strategy, if you have one?  If you don't, how do you find yourself in a better place?  Does it just happen and all of a sudden you're happy, in a good mood, and positive?  I wonder...

Lately I've been having a hard time trying to focus on the positive things in my life.  I feel like the 'bad' just keeps piling up.  The things I usually do to cheer myself up just aren't working like they used to.  Nothing seems to be working like it used to...  I guess that's what 'life' is and that's the point of it.  Time to change.

Well if anyone has any great suggestions, I'd love to hear 'em.  Really.  Feel free because I'm sure things won't be getting better as fast as I'd like them to.

Peace

Winnipeg is the greatest place to live.  Check out this image.  If you live here, you'll know what this is all about.  If you don't, well, thank God you don't... We love spring!  That's the fresh perspective...

LiLash update...

So as promised this is my last post on the product LiLash.  I know that my lashes have grown and seem to be fuller but I'm not sure that I would buy this product again.  I ran out of the actual serum a few weeks ago but I think that's cause of the way the bottle is shaped (and I did put the serum on my brows as well). All in all, my lashes grew and seemed fuller.  My brows didn't change at all.  Some people swear by this product.  I had a lady tell me she had to cut her lashes with scissors, they were so long!  I experienced some itching and a bit of a dry eye at night but that was it.

Yeah, that's all I can say I guess.  Maybe try it? Maybe not?

**By the way, my eyebrows are beefed up a bit....

Peace

A DAY FOR MOTHERS Mother's day is tomorrow.  What have you got planned?  You doing something fun your mother?  Are you getting pampered if you're a mother?

I'm a mom, and what I would like for Mother's day is- all my meals prepared for me (from scratch), all the mess associated with said meals cleaned up, the fridge cleaned out, ALL my laundry done, and a foot rub accompanied with a vanilla milk shake as I watch Game of Thrones.  Is that too much to ask?  Am I being a titch ridiculous?  It's my day...it's not like any of what I'm hoping for will actually happen as my children are under 3 feet tall and my husband is, well...the best! ;)

Why do you think we celebrate these days?  It's just like Valentine's or birthdays I guess.  It gives all of us a reason to acknowledge each other.  I mean, we should anyways, but acknowledgment always seems easier when a specific day is set aside for it.

I asked one of my male clients once what he wanted for Father's day and he said,"I just want to be left alone.  Everyone leave the house for 24 hours.  Just leave me by myself to do whatever I want."  I thought, wow, that sucks for him.  He would love peace and quiet and no fan fare, or tie, or lame mug, or 'best dad' anything.  He just wants to be left alone but he'll probably be subjected to doing something he doesn't want to do.

Just like my Mother's day wish, it won't happen and I'm okay with that.  I'll send my mom a card (she likes that).  Well actually I'm not even sure she does like that.  I've never really asked.  That's what I'm going to do.  I'm going to find out what they (mother/father) would really like on that day and try to make it happen.  As long as it doesn't cost a fortune.

That's all I got and that's the fresh perspective...
