I have a little "daily affirmation" that I say out loud every day when I wake up. It's something has never failed to put me in a good frame of mind and helps me to get through some tough times. I've been saying it for probably about 30 years now:

Someday I will see Charlie Brown kick that football.
Someday I will see the Cubs win the World Series.
Someday I will see them find a cure for cystic fibrosis.


Not really any particular music that I listen to for inspiration. It's usually one of those things that I may just happen to hear a song and it really gets me going.

I've found that talking to a friend about pretty much absolutely nothing helps get me in a good frame of mind to deal with life's problems many times. I did that last night actually. I've also found that pets help me deal with things quite a bit. Been spending a lot of time the last couple of weeks with a purring furball in my lap and I've been able to feel a lot better about things each and every time I done that.
