What do YOU do when you feel bad?
Do you cry it out?
Do you scream and shout?
Or do you hide in a corner
and put on a pout?

What do YOU do when you feel bad?
When everything around you
makes you sad?
What do you do
that makes you glad?

I look at the busy birds,
smell fragrant flowers,
marvel at majestic trees.
I listen to the rain hit the grasses,
and watch spiders weave their webs.

And I think about Scooby Doo,
and Wile Coyote and Roadrunner too.
And I think about merry-go-rounds
and milk with Oreos, too.

What do YOU do
when you feel really sad?
What makes you get over
the feeling of bad?

(giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, I too love to watch Scooby-Doo when I'm feeling blue, just the thought of Shaggy and Scooby having wild adventures together, as I love listening to Shakira or the Goo-Goo Dolls or Smash Mouth to cheer me up! (kiss on cheek) This is a wonderful medicine to find things that make you happy to cheer you up, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Scooby Doo, where are you? We got work to do! We have a whole world of sad people to cheer up.
Noah, let's go watch some cartoons and eat some Oreos.

I listen to happy music
and I have to admit, for me and the cartoons,
no one beats the Looney Tunes...Daffy, Bugs, Elmer Fudd, all of them make me laugh and well Scooby Doo is pretty good too I just saw one today with Johnny Bravo and the Scooby Doo gang, now that was funny LOL
enjoyed this

As my son says Boogy Doo is great.We watch it everyday.I listen to music or sing or write. It seems to flow my frustations out of me.

Two things Kacy...music and writing help me!
Writing it out really helps with music on in the background....or sometimes loud old time rock and roll...and dance it out!  Or...double choc.chip ice cream...gardening...oh my, that's more than two things...lol...got carried away...or a ride on a carousel...or get Larry to push you on a swing...or pull you in his wagon..oh sorry, that was just in his poem...going now.... ~Hugs~..they help too!

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

Smiling here, as this brought to mind a conversation I had once with another forum member--and my reply was and remains: "I get a bad buzz, write bad poetry, and then the next day, I say, 'WHAT?!'"

It's great to read you again!

Laughing at Serenitys reply, say what??
Don't I know it!!!     

When I'm feeling bad I go off, only to regret it later!  

And I agree, it is always so good to read you Midnitesun~
