Stress, Stress Go Away, Come Again Another Day...

Stress, stress, stress…HATE IT!  But I handled it so well today.  I sort of feel proud of how well I handled it.  I’m focusing on breathing, smiling, and praying right through it.  I truly believe it's because of doing this, my day turned out to be great!

There was lots to be done to prepare for 4 big meetings I have tomorrow, some unusual work related problems, and some dealings with that one personal stress factor that may just send me over the edge if I think too much about it.  Good conversation and a few laughs with co-workers and friends really helped to ease the stress A LOT.

I was reading Harpers Facebook page this afternoon; she had a tracheotomy done today.  Ugh…I just wanted to cry for her.  It took everything I had not to.  Later on, I was telling my boss about it and nearly lost it then.  It broke my heart to read that she had to go through that. Please pray hard for her.  We are all taking time to pray for her every day at 4PM. 

So when I have successfully defeated my stress and kept my emotions in check the day always ends on a good note.  My eating was great!  I had a business dinner to attend and was starving by the time we arrived at the restaurant.  I was afraid of what my choice may end up being.  I had a salad, Salmon with veggies and rice.  95% of the rice came home.  It was so good but I resisted it, I feel so good about that. Today’s workout was TOUGH!  We did, what felt like, a thousand squats and, with a 20lb. Medicine ball, we had to go from ground to overhead.  My legs were burning!  One thing I struggle with is working through that burning pain.  I have to stop and shake off that feeling then start over again.  I am blown away by people who can to so many squats unbroken.  As for the water, I drank over a gallon today; I thought I was going to drown haha.

Remember to keep Harper in your prayers. She also has her own facebook page so you can keep up with her.  The name of it is “Hugs for Harper”.   Also praying for my brother

who has been in a lot of pain the last couple of days and is running a high fever.
