Do Something

I learned a long time ago that if I am feeling down I probably need to do at least one of three things.  I either need a nap, a snack, or to do something.  Doing something takes my mind off of whatever is bothering me, and accomplishing something makes me feel good.  Playing, reading, visiting -- there are a number of things I could do.  Sometimes it's even a good idea, if I am feeling down, to start doing whatever it is that I am dreading the most.  Conquering a dreaded task is very helpful in raising my level of cheer.

I do not have a job outside of the home, other than a church calling.  I spend my time on a lot of different things.  Recently, I spent a lot of time re-doing my room.

This is before.  I remembered a little late to take the picture. 
The desks and bed are already pulled out so I can prepare to paint. 
This wall was painted years ago and I have loved it.
  My friend Shannon helped me.  All of the other walls were yellow.

This is my room now.  I even got
a new rug.  I love it!!

Even though it is sometimes hard to get myself moving.  It is almost always a good idea on emotional, or hard days, to do something!
