			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>it&#8217;s tough when you realize you&#8217;re slowly sinking into the morass of your own disappointments.</p>
<p>i&#8217;m not normally the type to wallow in my misery; dwelling excessively on your problems can only make things worse but as christmas rolls in, things only seem to grow bleak. maybe it&#8217;s because i usually tend to get depressed whenever christmas comes around. i don&#8217;t know. i only know that it gets tougher these days to keep going, to believe that one of these days &#8212; soon, anyway &#8212; things will turn around.</p>
<p>i&#8217;ve been around the block long enough to know that sometimes these &#8216;down&#8217; moments are bound to happen, but somehow when you&#8217;ve been creeping around in the dark too long you begin to wonder it it&#8217;s ever gonna end. *sigh*</p>
<p>here&#8217;s hoping the sun will come out soon. really, it&#8217;s hard work just to convince yourself that things aren&#8217;t as bad as they seem&#8230;</p>
<p>anyway, here&#8217;s an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/us/20missing.html?_r=1&amp;oref=slogin"><strong>uplifting story</strong></a> that might perk up those who are also down in the dumps.</p>
