Identifying the Stress Plague....


When I found myself wanting to scream "HELP ME" the other day; I knew that it was evidence of too much stress!

"HELP"
No! I take it back....
I am unwilling to cry for help anymore. Shouldn't a person nearing 60 years old have it together already?
If life is supposed to get easier, when will I be experiencing it?
On the stress scale;
I am trying to figure out where to give myself the most points!

  • worrying over my three aging loved ones
  • working up courage to clean a damp cellar with potential rodent problems
  • excercising aching joints
  • speaking up or not at work regarding a situation
  • dealing with general restlessness....regarding a possible future move
  • encouraging our eldest son who is facing surgery in a few weeks
  • thinking about the safe arrival of our tenth grandchild; never mind the other 9 little delightful, but busy concerns!

Right now, I am vividly imagining some of my readers' helpful advise. Here are some replies to your most sincere counsel:

Yes! I have already taken my summer vacation.

No...I can not take another one.

Yes! I know stuff like this happens to the best.

No...Things cannot get worse and please do not tell me to cheer up!

Yes! All is well that ends well; but is there an ending?

No...I am not planning to go for help!

Yes!!! I can either laugh or cry!

So; why not read this and

just go ahead and

LAUGH ON MY BEHALF!
