Blissful

When life (or the lack of it) gets to me, I do what I suspect many women do to; I eat. Or, in these days of weight watching, I more likely don't eat, and wish that I could get away with doing so.

I shop, I read, and I knit. And think about eating. I busy myself with minutia, while trying to tackle the issues that are stressing me out, because nobody loves the sucker who keeps making the same mistakes or falling into the same traps.

And perhaps most importantly, I am greatful for a gorgeous kitty cat who always knows when I need a cuddle (even if it is sometimes induced with a cuddly blanket and the occasional cat treat). I'd hate to think he absorbs my negativity, but he certainly helps keep it in check.

People do many different things to cope with stress, loss, and "bumps in the road". How do you handle stress and hard times?
