I made this post RED because yesterday was a RED LETTER DAY! (NOT!!!) The stress level at work was off the chart and it didn't help that I pulled a 12-hour day. In spite of that - today - I am well. I am determined to continue on my quest to wellness. Part of that process is reducing stress. I heard recently that when you deal with chronic stress, it shortens your life. That is NOT ok with me. What am I doing to curtail stress? I am listening to tapes to help me deal with depression, negative self-talk, and generally help me to keep my eyes on God and depend on him, turning over all my concerns to Him. How has that been working? UNBELIEVABLY WELL! I take lots of deep breaths and try to stay focussed on the task at hand.
In spite of things that are going on my family's life that are of concern to me, I feel more now than ever that HE is in control of everything and that my worrying doesn't make things better. It only makes me miserable.
Today, I want to thank God for all He has done for me, and for putting the people in my life that continue to minister to me.
