Joy and sometimes frustration in the little things

There are times where it seems an uphill battle not to cave under the pressure of ever day life. Sometimes the little things just feel like too much. You find yourself becoming frustrated by small setbacks or the little idiosyncrasies of your family. The daily search (at least in my case) for your car keys is almost as insurmountable as solving a problem in quantum physics. There are days where you just feel like you have no energy.
So what do you do?
Well for me, this last two days has been such a time. I have been discovering the joys of setting up a website. Thankfully I have friends and a husband that can help me. But sometimes the only option is to just step away and do something else. Go outside, read, or even just lean back and close your eyes. Allow your mind to dwell on something else for a bit.
It may not always help you solve the problem, but I find I usually handle it better than if I allow the frustration to mount.
So that is what I'm doing right now. I'm taking a break from the website to rant a little and then I'm going to make some tea or something. So my words of wisdom (which aren't really mine but anyone's with common sense) are: If you feel frustrated, step back, do something you enjoy and then deal with the less pleasant part of things.
