It always helps to have a support group. We are social beings and need other people or if they can't be there then our furbabies help us.

It's good to be needed by others and feel like what would happen to them if I wasn't here to do for them? That also makes you take care of yourself. Like go to the doc and stay well. Do healthy things to stay well. You want to be there for them.

Get a friend to unload on. Us girls need to unload more than men do. I had phone friends when I was down. Now I have moved away and it's long distance so not as much phone time anymore. My furbabies are here for me to talk to and watch play.

Also do some fun things each day. Play music you love to put you in a good mood. Act silly, no one is looking when you are by yourself. So act like a kid and your furbabies will not care.

Maybe you need a vacation. A change of scenery. I'm going to Yellowstone tomorrow for a week. My hubby has been working hard all year and it's time for a break in routine. Sometimes we get into a rut. Plan a romantic get away with your honey.
