Sometimes when life is kicking you all over the place, making you feel down or being overly busy or both you need to take time to sit back and do something that makes you happy. It can be so easy to get caught up in the run around of life, the stress and the negativity. I know I am guilty of doing this often and then we forget to do some of the things that we enjoy. The other thought is to remember that doing something to make you happy doesn’t have to be a huge extravagance, it can be something small.
When life seems to be battering me from all sides I have found that taking up one of my crochet projects even just for 5 minutes, helps me. Or taking a walk outside in nature it helps. Sure it doesn’t remove the problems in life but it gives me a few moments of peace away from them. Sometimes that little rest gives me some more courage and more battery life to tackle my problems head on.
Why am I musing on this you wonder? Just one of those things in the last few weeks things have been stressful for me and some of my dearest friends. I wish I could help those friends who are having trouble more but sometimes one can feel helpless in that too. My view can be seen as simplistic in taking those happy moments and I have at time been yelled at for it. Right or wrong it works for me and I only can wish that others find what will work best for them.
Random musings for the day that I just felt needed to be put down in word. I am looking down another stressful day of dealing with some clients who have been driving me up the wall and other stressful things that need to be handled. Time to take a crochet break before hand.

Thank you for the good advice
Welcome sweety, advice to myself as much as anyone else. I was in a bit of a reflective moment I guess. That sometimes we all just need to take a deep breath and take as little as 5 minutes to do something to calm our minds when the shits being shitty. So easy to get wrapped up in everything..we forget to just breath sometimes.
