What little thing in your life keeps you going?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) March 28th, 2011

When times have been rough, and you’ve been having bad days, it’s often hard to make yourself keep going.

What do you have in your life that makes it a little easier to roll out of bed in the morning?

On bad days (and on good days, for that matter), I like to get through the day by thinking of the guy I like. I’m so smitten with him, that just thinking back on past conversations with him will make me smile, or the thought of maybe getting to see him on certain days, like today.

Other than that, I look forward to the end of the day when I can relax, kick back and read a good book, etc.

The fact that I’m putting myself through all the tough stuff for a reason. This is especially important to remember now, at the end of the semester! It’s all for a reason; I’ll get a fancy paper with an MA on it when I’m done…

Yes, school is another motivation that I have…

In the Baby Blues cartoon strip yesterday the mother was looking for a chocolate IV. I thought of you @WillWorkForChocolate . I have a lot of people that look to me when things get tough. I have to be strong for them.

All I have is the fact that I truly love life and no matter how bad it gets, I still want to roll out of bed and embrace the day.

Reflecting on the fantastic experiences I’ve had and believing I can experience them again, better yet is believing I can share them again with my favorite people.

My boyfriend calls me every morning for a chat before we both go about our days. It doesn’t matter how shite I feel, when his name appears on my phone (anytime between 7.30 and 9am) all is well with the world for half an hour or so.

I don’t know. I“ve never thought about it. Maybe because I’m not sure what it means?
