When you're feeling sad

When I'm feeling sad a white square ain't gunna work.

Neither will a platitude about doors

[kopenhagen5]

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

...always look on the bright side
of life...
(Whistle)

Always look on the light side
of life...
(Whistle)

when Im feeling sad....what?

Cant see a thing

[twyngwyn]

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
these are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.

So, is Jessica advocating schadenfreude as a remedy for sadness?

If so, I find that sad.

I'm feeling sad, now.

Two funerals in two days and I'm tired of putting on the grim smile, and saying "I'm sorry for your loss", standing around in a carpark with strangers, feeling uncomfortable in an ill fitting rented suit.

People I liked are gone.

Like drinking and breathing, there is a time for one and not the other, so I will feel sad, now, because I know, later, that the time for not feeling sad will come.

It's okay to feel sad, it's appropriate, it's normal, it's a response to a situation.

It happens.

It doesn't mean you're weak, it means you're human.
