Have you ever had a bad day and wanted to escape? I had a dear friend tell me the "cure". I have tried it several times and it does work. I will worn you however that it will make you cry. But in the end there is peace. Here is how it worked for me.
I take a moment all alone. Usually I lay on my bed. Door locked. In my mind I begin making a list. The list is of all of the things that I am grateful for. At first it is hard to think of things because of my mood. Then the magic happens. The more I think the longer the list becomes. Pretty soon I find myself crying and realizing that there is much in my life to be grateful for.
The list turns into "pictures" of memories. I see all the good in my life. I am sure that my pictures of memories would mean nothing to you but to me it brings me much happiness and peace. After my quiet moment life is good and I have added to my own tapestry.
PS. I hung a new picture in my bedroom the other day and my son said to me "Mom when I have time out again can I choose this picture to look at?" I told him that he could and we talked at that moment, about what the picture was of ans what it meant to me. I am telling you those are magical moments.
