Welcome to my little corner of the world where you never know what you will find! It could be anything from a joke to a funny picture to a personal rant to a favorite recipe to an awesome quote to any random "bright idea" that pops into my mind.

Stressed to the Max
We all have times of stress. Just remember - it is only temporary!
Cat - your beautiful posts often seem like they are speaking directly to me. Thanks so much for the "ahhhhhh" I almost always experience when I drop by. It is like this place smells like my Mom"s cookies :)
Hi, Cat. This is very true, and good to remember. I've also found that sometimes things can wear on us and we let ourselves fall out of the good habits we had long, long ago, and develop not-so-good ways of coping instead. Sometimes, one has to look way back to see the core of who we really are, before we can keep moving forward again.
When I come here and visit you, I can bask for a moment in this refreshing air, take a deep cleansing breath, and smile. Somewhat like Lillie said, I catch a whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting in the wind. It feels kinda homey-warm and welcoming here. :-)
Yep, stress chisels away at our good intentions for handling our less than stellar automatic responses. This is a good reminder to take things in stride.
Oh boy did I need this this morning!- as I was banging around the kitchen wishing I had all the answers like my teenage son seems to have all the time!
BTW now I want cookies! Thanks for that ladies! :( LOL

What a sweet thing to say Lillie. Thank you. Once you finish your diet, come on over and I'll pop some chocolate chip/walnut cookies in the oven. ;-)

Your teenage son has all the answers too? Wow, so does mine. ROTGLMBO
DeleteOk Wilma - when Lillie and Irishey come over and I pop some chocolate chip/walnut cookies in the oven, you can join them. :)
DeleteTeenage sons always seem to think they have all the answers - think it's the nature of the breed. ;-)

So very true. I want those cookies too.
ReplyDeleteOk sunnygirl - you can join the others for chocolate chip/walnut cookies. ;-)

Very true, but sometimes it is a VERY long temporary.
ReplyDeleteGood point Ana and sometimes it just feels like a VERY long temporary doesn't it.

Thanks for the reminder - timing is perfect. I am trying sooooo hard not to fall back into the old familiar habits of dealing with life.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Blondie and you will succeed. I have faith in you.
