Seriously I think I'm stressed. I have so much to do before we move. March of Dimes is at the end of the month and I've not even started. We have big decisions concerning Rachel's treatment and what to do with Harm this Summer. There are so many other things going on addition to that I feel like I'm in a blender. I can't wait till June. I need a serious vacation if we manage to live to that point :p
Deep thought: Today Chris told me about a business associate who passed away by his own hand. It was really surprising, I never would have guessed him. I guess that is the point. In a hymn there is a line that says: in the quiet heart is hidden sorrow that the eye can't see. I think that is true for everyone... some more than others. It has always surprised me to find out people who I thought had it all together sometimes really struggled to a near breaking point.
It reminded me of when I was in high school and a speaker said something: in life you can either always bring a person up (smiling, being nice, treating others with respect, empathy, etc.) or bring a person down (gossip, stealing, stereotyping, judging, etc.). At the end of the day the choices you make in treating others will define you. I hope I'm bringing others up in my day to day actions... Thank you to those of you in my life who do the little things to bring me up!
Tomorrow I will try and blog about something happier! Tonight I'm just being a little deep.

I am so sorry! What a sad thing. Both your stress and about the co worker. It seems as we get older things only get harder. and when I was 12 I thought being an adult would be easy. Ha!
ReplyDeleteGood luck reducing your stress and I think you are a builder not a destroyer. :)
