Sometimes it's good to consider options if you're feeling negative, looking at the world as difficult, people as ornery, and life as hard. As today is St. Patrick's Day, it's always fun to see the many Irish proverbs and sayings that people send to uplift each other. Here is one that made me smile:
A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures. Irish Proverb

Try This: Feel Those Good Vibrations!
Here are some ways to put a smile on your face when you’re not "feeling it":
