I’m winning!

That’s the excitement of Andy’s commentluv contest. Every comment on every participating blog is an entry. I’ve lucked into winning twice now. The first win was, ironically enough, on my own post announcing the contest, in a comment where I was just trying to prove that I couldn’t enter on my own blog. The second one was today, on Dan’s Race for a Million blog (which, btw, is pretty good - check it out).

Did I win?

I wasn’t sure if it was a legitimate win at first, but it’s been confirmed!

So, lucky me! And thanks to Andy, at CommentLuv, both for the contest, and the great plug-in. And for those who haven’t entered yet… there are still two more days!

By the way: can anyone guess what movie and actor is featured in those quotes?

There is nothing more perfect than the punch line of this Dilbert strip.

Who among us cannot relate? I actually considered making that my new theme on this site. There are times that it seems to perfectly capture my life.

That could be depressing, but the intent of this strip is to laugh at the depression, and that’s usually what I do in life as well. It’s amazing how well the stress drops off when you do that. When I’m in the proverbial “impossible situation” I just laugh at the absurdity of it all and realize that I can only do what I can do. Then I do what I can. If failure occurs, I just try to make sure it’s not because of me.

Is that denial? Maybe. I’m okay with that, though.

What do you do to cope when things seem futile?
