thanks beacon! Reminds me of Rabbi Rietti’s tape on simcha… every heard it.. I cracked up doubled over while listening to it!!!! He has a whole ditty about “If only I could just get into High School, If only I could just be out of high school, If only I could get into this college!, if Only I could get out of this college!, If only I could have this shidduch, If only I could get out of this shidduch, If only I could have kids, if only my kids would be out of the way!, if only my kid would start talking, if only my kid would be quiet… if only my kid would get married and out of my house!@…. etc… (I dont do justice to R’ Rietti but add an accent and his sing song and it makes you plotz!)

BTW I tried my “happy technique” again today and it is mamish not shayach how it works. I started to be down when I heard something that reminded me that I was upset, and I squashed it like a daddy long led before it surfaced, the blood oozed out! ok, so I look meshiggers talking to myself everytime and telling myself…”Oh no you dont! You are happy! You KNOW you really are and that Hashem is running the world and knows gantz fine what He is doing so don’t fall into the trap!” but you know what… it helped again so put up with me if you see me looking like schizon on the street talking to myself!
