Stress B Gone


I think life has been stressful for people even 1,000 years but in today's modern age almost everyone seems to be multi tasking and in a hurry to get to somewhere.  These are stressful times we're in and that's why I feel that people should take moments away from their responsibilites and just "let go" and do something rewarding for themselves like watching a pleasant movie or taking a walk through a lovely park.

I had a friend who once said to me "You know,  you really don't like responsibilities, don't get me wrong you're a responsbile person but you like to shy away from responsibilities." Well...
maybe there was a time in my life when I shyed away from responsibilities but there's a time for everything and now my time has arrived for being loaded with responsibilities and stress!

Stress will often be in our lives in one form or another, the stress of a job, health issues, family problems, financial challenges....the list goes on. For those times in life when life isn't so overloaded with stress and deadlines, rejoice because it's your time to enjoy those sweet moments of calmness and happiness. I've learned never to judge because a person can have everything running smoothly in their life and then suddenly everything falls apart. I've seen this happen to quite a few people, myself included. So....embrace those beautiful stress free moments in life, they're a gift.

Stress Be Gone; here are some ways to de-stress;

use some stress be gone oil or lotion
get a theraputic massage
go on a walk
read a good book
watch an uplifting movie

Starbucks & Debbie

This afternoon I stopped into a Starbucks and asked for a sample of the new "Blond Roast." I was expecting just a tiny cup sample but instead the barista poured me a generous cup of the "Blond Roast"  and recommended trying it with a few drops of vanilla syrup which I did. What a beautiful moment it was to enter Starbucks wanting to try the new "Blond Roast" and given a generous sample with kindness and warmth by Debbie the barista. STARBUCKS and its customers are very fortunate to have such a shining star employee as Debbie who brightened my day by greeting me with a big smile and friendly "May I help you?" When I asked for a sample she rewarded me with something I just wasn't expecting.  How nice it is to know that every now and then someone can make all the difference in just a few moments. This was the case with the amazing STARBUCKS barista Debbie who deserves high praises for being so awesome. Thank You Starbucks and Thank You D...

The Cows

After attending a lovely morning Christmas service I decided to take a bicycle ride through the countryside. I was on my own and had nobody to spend Christmas with so I just kept paddling on the trail and enjoying the scenery and smell of the fragrant pine trees.  When  I stumbled across cows in the distance I was ecstatic because I love cows, so I turned my bike around and meandered to the pubic road that led to the farm. When I saw two cows in the meadow my face lighted up with joy. The cows saw me and ran to the fence to greet me. For several minutes they just stood there next to me and made me feel so loved and appreciated. I no longer felt alone on Christmas Day. In moments when we feel so alone how assuring it is to know that there are some living creatures to cheer us up. Those two sweet cows I spent time with on a warm Christmas afternoon were beautiful CHRISTMAS moments. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL LIVING CREATURES!

The Penny

Holding down three jobs and always multi-tasking it felt so good to sit down for a few moments in the backyard the other day. I dreamed of easier times when life was more "carefree." Suddenly I noticed a penny on the ground. It hadn't been there before and my inner voice told me to pick it up. I did and was mesmerized with the year engraved on the penny. That year I was blessed with the best carefree summer of my life and the memories flooded my mind of that sweet summer long ago. That penny gave me hope that my guardian angels knew my pain and distraught and assured me that "moments" of happy times will come again someday. "The penny" was my sign of hope that someday there will be carefree moments again. Believe in those little signs that come into your moments of everyday life.
