Lots of wisdom found there. <BR/><BR/>I forgot to mention as a tip that having a sense of humor can really help through tough times.

Excellent post. :) And all so true. :) My immune system has actually gotten wiggy in terms of being over reactive. :) Not fun, but there. So stress, like you said, can do a lot of weird things to the old body. <BR/><BR/>Denise A. Agnew<BR/>www.deniseagnew.comDenise A.

I'm reading more and more about eastern philosophy and Vedic culture, and maybe that's the cure for our stress. Eventually, maybe I'll learn to shrug and accept that the universe didn't see it my way this time, but that it (the universe) is on my side and is working on a better outcome for me. Needless to say, I'm not there yet. I'm still working on letting go of worry, or "stopping the tornado".

See the e-zine archives for the article.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for giving us a peek into your hectic life, Bonnie! Your description of riding those Honduran roads made me think of the movie Romancing the Stone.

That has got to be one tough job. <BR/><BR/>Your stress level made ME stressed! <BR/><BR/>Your tips are great. Definitely a set to be printed and posted next to the writing computer!<BR/><BR/>My brother has a great poster that defines stress. <BR/><BR/>Stress is the resulting tension that occurs when the mind overrides the body's desire to strangle the life out of someone who really deserves it!<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, sometimes the person who stresses us out the most is US!Louisa Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971924594129471055noreply@blogger.com
