I AM STILL STANDING-LIFE WON'T GET ME DOWN

There are days where everyone feels that their burdens are just too difficult to take. A little trick is to stand up and look at your feet. Then stand tall- hard for me as a short person- but stand tall. Look around you! Then simply say- I am still standing. Then have the courage to put one foot in front of the other and start your day. No matter how small the goal for the day- do something. Empty the dishwasher, go for a walk, read the newspaper, clear your email box- do something. Remember you were given this day so do something with it. If you are really down and feeling depressed, call a friend and get some help. But remember to say- I am still standing!
