How do you get through the bad days?

[DevonRex]

5. I find the bad days are part of the ebb and flow.

Sometimes a bad day just means I really have to lose myself in a good book or movie for awhile. Have some alone time. Sometimes a bad day means I've had too much alone time and I need to be more social. Or go for a hike and work off some tension somewhere beautiful.

But sometimes a bad day is because of a trigger and something I haven't faced or talked out with my husband before. So I pay attention, or try to, and do whatever it is I need to do. It really helps that my husband is a good listener. He's been trying to figure me out for years so he loves it when I tell him something new. Another piece of the puzzle that is me.

Of course, that will annoy me at some point later on. But I wouldn't trade him for anyone on.earth.
