It's Just Another Day

Did you have a Happy Father's Day? Well, for various reasons (that you understand if you know me) holidays and special occasions are not as happy as they used to be. I really do love holidays, but no matter how great I feel about the day, there are people and things (in an extremely large, painful nutshell) that are gone. Do you feel me? If not, that's okay.
If so, let's talk about it.
Yesterday, I had a horrible morning and I let it cause me to make some bad choices (nothing illegal, don't worry). I didn't realize how badly I was hurting until that happened. I've struggled with special occasions for a while, but yesterday made me realize how important it is to have a plan for special days. And yes, i've tried just getting over it. It didn't work.
Anyway, here's a list of things that help me get through those sad days:
-Call someone and talk about it.
-Gripe, say it stinks, identify the feelings and get them out before they try to beat the peace out of you.
-If you need to, tell yourself that it's "just another day." I probably just offended someone that hates the idea of saying a religious holiday is "just another day." Don't worry, I'm not dissin' on Jesus. He knows that. (Thanks to LouDog for that piece of advice-it might not work for everyone, but it works for me.)
-Plan something special, so you're not at home all day in dirty pajamas, eating things you will regret. You know, thinking things like, "What kind of person sits home all day on _________, wearing dirty pajamas and eating things they will regret?" *disregard this last statement, if you feel really good about wearing dirty pajamas and eating things you will regret. To each his or her own...
But I digress...
I felt terrible, I screwed up, and then I picked myself up, reached out, and did something for myself. It was a great end to the day.
How do you deal with tough days?

p.s. I love my dad. :)
