Sorrows

I have a friend that is struggling with sorrows.

Sick relatives.  Broken relationships.  Feeling lost.  Life is just bringing too many lemons it seems.  And they are coming all at once.

To this person, and to anyone who gets discouraged, I say this.... it is too easy, much too easy, to get sucked into the doldrums.  Actively work to fight them off.

• Cry and get it out of your system.
• Get active.  Get up and do something.
• Don't focus on the past... make new friends.
• Engage in life.
• Make a conscious decision to live above the lemons.

Keep your mind busy so that it does not get stuck in the bad news.  There is still alot of good out there, but it sometimes is found only by those who actively and purposely look for it.

It's still a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
