Thanks, Maryann. It is hard to stay positive when you are being pummeled daily. And, I agree, it is extremely difficult to know what’s true and what’s not. I feel so let down by the media. I constantly think what people like Walter Cronkite, Huntley & Brinkley, and Ed Murrow would have to say. Not to mention – George Carlin. 😀

Thanks for another excellent post with good advise. I, too, am a Pollyanna type and the current mess of our world has been depressing. Hard to think positive, but I try. You make a good point about verifying facts before posting things online. It’s gotten to a point where it’s hard to tell what is true anymore. I’ve recently started verifying before sharing memes and other posts on Twitter. But then I mostly interact with friends there.

In reply to Maryann Miller. Aw, thank you, Maryann. You are so right. No matter what your life situation, we all experience bumps in the road. That's life and stressing over things out of our control helps no one. Appreciate you sharing your perspective and the kind words, Maryann.

Life is always a series of challenges to which we have to adapt. Adaptability is crucial, especially as we, and the people & pets around us age. You have my deepest respect for what you do for yourself, your Mom, & the business world.

A sensible approach as always, Cathy. It’s hard to keep your head above water with all that’s happening.

Thank you, Maryann. I am so glad it gave you some comfort. Moving is never fun. And isn’t it funny how we forget to follow the good suggestions we share with others? 🙂 Lord knows I am guilty of that. Wishing you as smooth a move as possible, my friend. Breathe. 😉

Wonderful article with inspiration so helpful to me right now as I prepare to move. Really needed the reminder to breathe. I often urge others to do that when stressed, but seem to forget it for myself. 🙁 Also really like this line: “Alone time is healing. Isolation shuts the door on life.” Like you, I like my alone time a lot, but isolation brings loneliness which is debilitating emotionally. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Mitch Mitchell.

I’ll give you the whole cookie jar, Mitch! 😀 My little store isn’t that sophisticated. I just figure it’s more for fun and any knocking-around change. Zazzle handles everything (manufacturing, inventory, shipping, and customer service). All I get is a small earnings.

I moved to them from the Shopify platform because I just don’t have the time to handle all the other aspects. It’s a print-on-demand so I don’t have to keep any inventory. That being said, I do need to get off my duff and promote it more. 🙂
