Thought of the Day:
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. -- Kurt Vonnegut
I find it better to laugh at Life's frustrations, although not necessarily at the exact time they happen, but I will chuckle at them. How do you handle your frustration, laughter or tears?

Hi fwidman..sometimes I find it difficult to let go of my anger but after about 2hrs I normally calm down by listening to calm peaceful music..meditation or going for a walk and sometimes sharing my fears doubts and anger with a friend whom I trust implicitly as we have known each other for 39 yrs and she always has that calming affect on me..littleowl

I think I handle it in the most unforgivable ways which sometimes I am most disgust at which is neither laughter nor tears. But this is really good and I hope I can adopt this attitude.

My dear at one stage in my life I used to love to laugh. That is how I received the nickname smiley but since recent events that I have encounter I don't see my laughing days to be any near soon. It is true though that there are times when you look back at a situation you will indeed laugh or cry over it because at that time you see the simplicity of it. Take care kerry

Hi fwidman,
Oh, when I get frustrated I will cry and then when I'm calm down a bit I might just chuckle to myself to make feel better.

Oh, its hard to laugh when we feel frustrated but i guess it is the right thing to do for helping ourselves.I've been through so many frustrations in my life but i am glad i was able to handle on them in the sense that i stay strong and healthy.I would think some might go crazy with the life i've been through but i am very thankful for the guidance of our Lord i was able to survive.

I will cry when I am mad and pissed off..LOL! I do know but tears will just appear but when I am frustrated over something, work or people, I will just sigh and prefer to play my favorite game so that I can laugh with friends! LOL![/i]

I usually ball up my fists, then I try to find the lesson. I like to learn but I don't like to be taught.

Hey fwidman, I think that most of the time when I am
frustrated I prefer to laugh if possible. I think I try
to get myself out of it by doing something to take myself
out of the frustration and into a place where I will maybe
find something to be amused about like here on mylot for
example. I tend to not cry as often as I used to. I do
get frustrated but I get myself out of it alot quicker
these days by finding ways to turn it off. Quite honestly,
mylot has saved the day in alot of instances. It takes
me away from alot of my frustrations and aggravations.
So should I be paying them? No, I think I will continue
to let them pay me! And by the way, I love the new shoes!

How do I handle my frustrations? I go into a frenzy and start talking to myself, I try to keep from saying a few choice or chosen words. It takes me a long time to calm down, in the meantime if some ones is near me they are laughing out loud at my actions and then I can't help but to laugh with them.
