Waiting for the Rejections

I'm getting better at the rejection game.  I open my e-mail daily and one or two a week usually pop up.  It used to be a rejection could get me down for the whole day.  But now I'm taking them easier (at least right now).  In any case the point is to keep going, no matter what, and to take heart by "good rejections," of editors who have some kind words to say but can't quite accept the poems.  A really good journal had some nice things to say recently, so maybe that's what's getting me through the other rejections.  Some say surviving rejections is a big part of being a writer.  I don't know, maybe that's true.  At the moment I just keep writing, keep sending, and keep hoping for something good.
