I didn’t cope with negative feelings well during a few stages of my life. But with age comes wisdom. Well, sometimes it does. Anyway, I try to find things that I like to do and do them. And then when I’m relaxed I figure out why I had those feelings and what I want to do about them.

- Listen to some music
- Write a blog or note to a friend
- Take some pictures or do some editing
- Tinker in my workroom
