Today I Stop...




A few years ago, when life turned me upside down, a friend gave me this picture.

Today, I sat at my desk and I looked at my various "to do" lists and realized how much stuff was on my agenda-- buying wedding bands, planning the wedding, honeymoon plans, cruise excursions, Spencer's birthday party, family trip to Disney, Thanksgiving, Christmas, house projects, work projects, Soccer stuff, etc. etc. etc. and I realized that I had happy stress.

Even though this poem has hung over my desk for three years, I think today was the first day I actually stopped, breathed deep, and got "it" on the level it was intended.


So, Cheers to happy stress, love, and to-do lists that make me smile and cry at the same time!
