Quick late/early jot right in the middle of a bad day that will probably turn into two bad days

Remember the stuff that makes you happy, and do nice things for people, particularly those who are central in your life... Treat others how you would like to be treated by them, do for them what you would be pleased to have done for you.  Chances are it won't be reciprocated, but that's not what it is about, it's about doing something for someone that puts a smile on their face, and sometimes you will be pleasantly surprised by receiving the same in turn.  It's a difficult concept to do for others with no expectations of a return except for the peace it brings you knowing you have made a day brighter, but once in that groove of self sacrifice you start figuring out that it isn't really sacrificing but is instead the only gift you truly have worth giving, a bit of yourself.  Some days will be harder than others and sometimes it'll hurt clean down to your soul, believe me I know it seems like a constant stressful hit here lately with not much positive coming back in, but it won't last, and it never will if you can reset and find the good to focus on.
