STRESS

"Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live."
~Margaret Fuller~
 
Ours is a stressed-out society. We live at the end of our proverbial ropes. Sleepless, overworked, over-fed, and over-obligated, we are so busy getting through our days that we have no time or inclination to actually enjoy them. We experience stress over everything.
     Let's not. Let's slow down and enjoy whatever we're doing. Let's appreciate every little nuance. Let's look around with care, and listen from the heart, and clearly articulate what we are feeling. Let's save ourselves from the common maladies of angst and stress. Let's relax and enjoy the journey. Let's become willing to joyfully experience the ride.

Stress is not worth my time or effort. I choose to leave it alone.
