: I know what you mean. It's hard to find a balance sometimes. I'm going to assume that the "up" part is not the problem but that the "down" is. A little trick I use when I'm down is to understand that there are those less fortunate than I. In other words, no matter how bad you think things are I can guarantee you that there is someone out there who has it much worse, like that guy living in the box on the streets who's hungry and strung out.

: Another little trick I use when I'm down is to try to accomplish something I've been putting off. A sense of accomplishment does wonders for the soul and the mood. Plus, it helps to keep your mind busy while you're doing it.

: No matter what circumstances are surrounding your life, there is always going to be someone who is better off and worse off. When the chips are down try to realize and appreciate the things you *DO* have (the positive things) and don't dwell on what you don't.

: I hope you get your smile back,

Wait a minute; hold the presses; follow that cab; is this the same Will who says he is a 5 giving this awfully 4'ish sounding advice?? Maybe we have us an undercover 4 on our hands. :)
