When one door closes, another opens. But what do you DO in the hallway?

Whenever you go thru a setback in life, people always say "things will work out for the best", "what's meant to be will be", "gotta go thru a test to get a testimony" and my favorite "when one door closes, another one opens"  And I'm not making light or fun of any of these statements but they all leave something out.  What do you DO in the hallway?  Ok, I can accept that there will be setbacks and such, but as I'm going thru the transition, what do I do to prepare for what's next?  So, you know I developed a Top Ten : ) ; ) : )

1.  Thoroughly clean your house.  It will help de-clutter your mind and give you a sense of clarity
2.  Volunteer to help others.  Helps put things in perspective.
3.  Travel.  Even if its just to a quaint B&B 2 hrs away, go see some place new
4.  Call family/friends you haven't heard from in a while.  Just because : )
5.  Take a class.  computer, language, etc.... Keep your mind sharp and expand skills
6.  Look at yourself naked....may seem weird but start to appreciate everything about YOU
7.  Complete a beauty regimen....be it pedi/mani, facial, shopping, alterations...do something vain for you
8.  Walk...or any other exercise that  you enjoy doing...frees the mind to reflect and plan
9.   Do something BOLD! doesn't have to be jumping out of a plane, maybe it's just going to a concert alone
10. Drink a little wine : )  Just because

Thanks Jan Hill..What do you DO in the Hallway?
