The last couple of months have been very busy around our household.  Seems like I just get settled down from one thing and something new pops up that has to be dealt with.  Although at times I am sure that it sounds like I am griping or bitching, this has all taught me a very important lesson.

  In the past when things would happen I would let it get the best of me.  It would get to the point where I would either get so depressed or feel so panicked that I wouldn’t be able to function.  I am happy to know that life does not have to be that way.  I have learned how to “roll with the punches”.  It wasn’t until these last couple of months that I really knew what that meant.  I am finally learning how to laugh at myself and life when things do happen. 

  When things happen I have learned to just let them happen and keep all emotions, thoughts and feelings out of the equation.  Things happen in life, that’s a part of the beauty of it.  It’s not good, it’s not bad, it just is.  When anything is approached in this manner, it is so much easier to deal with.  There isn’t the added stress of emotions that tend to run wild, as a matter of fact there is little stress to begin with. 

  In the last couple of months I have dealt with sick children, the car breaking down, blowing a tire and being stranded on the interstate, and the list goes on and on and on.  I don’t really see any of it being bad, it just is.  I have managed to keep my head about me and deal with the important things instead of having to doctor my own emotional and mental wounds.  It is so much easier that way, not to mention the stress and anxiety levels have went way down.  I do admit that I still have some work to do, but I am happy to find my new “reduced stress” way of life.  Perhaps sometime soon it will be stress free!!  Maybe if I start quacking that will help??
