MISCELLANEOUS

      Have you ever noticed that there are many people who have gigantic burdens and still smile?  They spread cheer wherever they go and never let their burdens get them down to the point where they can't be helpful to others.  Then there are the people who are on a pity party every hour of every day.  They are like parasites to everyone who comes close enough for them to attach themselves to.  Soon everyone avoids them.  They have enough on their plate and don't want to be dragged down to the level of the pity partier.  Does whining about everything change anything?  Nope.  It's like a merry-go-round of depression....it never stops.  So why not laugh and smile as you go through life?

   Have you noticed when you are depressed, nothing positive seems to happen in your life because you have given up. You don't feel like doing anything.  But doing nothing gets you exactly that....nothing.  How bad do you want your life to change?  Maybe you should work harder at doing something positive rather than sitting and lying around feeling hopeless.

   How many times have you watched someone exercise on television, listened to programs about how you can become healthier and then continued to sit there.  Maybe it's past time to get up and start working towards a better life.  Right now is a perfect time to do that.
