I only named some of the more significant things.<br> <br> It is important to look at yourself and evaluate your attitude, habits, actions, and overall way of living. Then set out to make changes. I ask myself when I begin to feel stressed&#8230;Am I bringing this on myself? Do I really need to be involved? Am I enabling someone else by taking this responsibility on? Am I neglecting myself with this added whatever?<br> <br>Just devise some questions that cause you to think before acting or reacting. Take time for you! Seriously, if you are sick and stressed who can you really be there for anyway? Stop and take care of you first!<br> <br>I just remarried two weeks ago and I am 42 1\/2 yrs old. I never thought I would find true love and I never thought my life would be a happy one again. I mean I hoped but wasn&#8217;t sure I believed it. Then Jeff came along and it all changed. The other changes were gradual of course!<br> <br>I am actually thankful for what I have been through&#8230;I am a better person because of it. I am happy and in better control of me! I very seldom stress out about anything anymore&#8230;I have my life&#8230;what is there to stress about?<br> <br> Warmest regards,<br> Darla G.
