Cheer up strategies welcome

Hello world.

I think there should be an app akin to the one that checks your drunken state before you text or email someone, but that prevents you from blogging if you’re feeling down… Like right now.

I am tired, nervous, anxious, nervous, down, nervous. It’s not a good nervous, though. It’s a level of stress that I’m not comfortable with. Why can’t I translate nervousness to excitement? Anxiety to anticipation? A frown to a smile?

That got me thinking that there must be a formula out there for an immediate pick-me-up. Right, drugs, but I’m thinking of something more natural. Maybe a book of jokes, good quotes, a Voicemail from your husband saying how much he loves you, I mean, there has got to be a way to beat the blues.

Taylor Swift reads her myspace comments when she’s having a bad day… Too bad not all of us have an unlimited arsenal of love or a fan club.

What do you do to cheer up?
