Thank you sir, may I have another?

This was a good article about getting back up after you fall.

Sometimes when faced with rejection, it's hard to think of anything good at all. You've heard the term "count your blessings."That's the time to do it-- when you're at rock bottom and feel like nothing is good, you're wasting your time and someone (everyone?) is repeatedly kicking you in the teeth.




One thing I've learned: someone always has it worse. Got rejected by that thing you wanted? Someone else had a debilitating car accident and can't even do that thing anymore. Whatever your problem is, someone else has the same thing but worse. One thing you never see in the movies is someone hitting rock bottom and then delving further. Sometimes in life it feels like that's happening. There's a MEME that suggests you yell "PLOT TWIST!" and move on.

I have no advice other than read the article in the link above and perhaps trying my own personal invention, the Cookie Cleanse.

What's a Cookie Cleanse, you ask?
1. Stay in.
2. Make homemade chocolate chip cookies.
3. The only food you ingest today, your designated Cookie Cleanse day, will be cookies.  No sandwiches, no soup, no salad. Just cookies. Warm ones. Gooey. Straight from the oven. You're allowed to drink milk with the cookies. But that's it. That's your day. Milk and cookies.
4.  Don't  mess around and try to make an ice cream cookie sandwich or anything fancy. Just go about your day (staying IN), watch TV, movies, read books, laundry is ok but no major cleaning.... and when you get hungry eat a cookie. Take it from the Oracle: you'll feel right as rain.
