&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Husband banned from Target &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yesterday my dear wife…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This house is located on an island called &lt;em&gt;Elliðaey&lt;/em&gt; near &lt;em&gt;Vestmannaeyjar&lt;/em&gt;, a small archipelago off the south coast of Iceland. The house was given to singer, Bjork from her motherland as a “Thank You” for putting Iceland on the international map.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;small&gt;“The stalks these flowers are already dried up but their blossoms are preserved and kept fresh by the medical infusion bags. The life-span of every living creature is limited.The infusion bags stand for the progress in medicine and the prolongation of human life.They somehow carry an ambivalent message as they refer to both death and life an the same time. Both states are immanent here. To preserve the beauty of the flowers artifically with the help of the infusion bags points out man’s inclination to repress the fact having to die and to postpone death.”&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ten Things To Do When...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4shd8WZx91qa39ovo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://agualily.tumblr.com/post/38376911026/banasmagiccastle-ruhtwoah-ten-things-to-do" target="_blank"&gt;agualily&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ruhtwoah.tumblr.com/post/29057380279" target="_blank"&gt;ruhtwoah&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ten Things To Do When You Feel Like Crap:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Have a really hot, long shower. Cry if you need to. Sit on the ground. Feel sorry for yourself. Let the steam soak into your skin. Let the hot water wash your face clean. But the moment you turn off that water, you are done feeling sorry for yourself. Make a decision to move on from that sadness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Clean. I know, cleaning is boring and annoying - but how about that feeling you get when you are finished? The smell of the vacuum. That feeling of accomplishment? Who knows, you might even find money along the way. Totally worth it. It’s like starting with a clean slate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Call a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while. If your first choice doesn’t pick up, choose someone else. Ask them all about how their lives are going and tell them about yours. Not only will it take your mind off whatever crappy thing you have been plagued by, but you will laugh with them! Laughing triggers endorphins and endorphins make you happy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Go for a run or a walk. This get’s your endorphins and dopamine going crazy. You will get more energy and more happiness just because the chemicals in your body are running around!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; Stop and take it all in. Walking in the night? Stop and look at the stars. Breathe in the cold air. Feel alive. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Stop whining. Ever heard the saying “love life and life will love you back”? Or, the idea of the power of attraction? It’s true! If you sit around saying “why me, waaaaa waaaa” then bad things will happen to you. You’re already defeated. If you start saying, “I will be happy, I will accomplish my ambitions, I will find love, I do look amazing, I am a great friend” etc., then not only will you start to believe them but you will be amazed at what amazing things start to happen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt; Drink tea. This always works. Not a tea fan? Try hot water with a slice of lemon and some agave syrup. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8.&lt;/strong&gt; Make a conscious decision to stop holding certain grudges. We all have people we have held grudges on in the past. Let them go. If you feel like you owe this person an apology, don’t be too proud. Send them a sincere facebook apology. Sincerity is in the intent, so even if it’s a 2 sentence apology - as long as you mean it it’s worth it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9.&lt;/strong&gt; Cook some really nice, warm food. Stimulate your taste buds with anything as simple as two minute noodles or as lavish as a three course garlic bread, pasta bake, chocolate mousse triple combo. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10.&lt;/strong&gt; Write down a list of goals to achieve for the week. As simple as “buy insect repellent” or as large as “jog for 25 minutes non stop” and tick them off when they’re done. You will feel very accomplished and that alone will help pep up your mood!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Number 1, 2, and 4 are personally my favorite ways to stop feeling like shit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
