| QUOTES for the moment: (one of my favorites) No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -- Eleanor Roosevelt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " Put love first. Entertain thoughts that give life.

TIP FOR THE MOMENT: Remember to take a break from the stress of our everyday lives. Take a moment at lunch, or while doing wash or studies, whatever your situation is, and take a deep breath, look around you, think about your true priorities, look objectively at your worries. We all need a little respite from it. Remember nature: Some nights are just spectacular. The colors as the sun sets can be amazing. Then there is the calming green of the grass and the cool shade and the majesty of the trees, I am forever in awe of there beauty and strength. priorities |
| WELCOME 888888888888888888888888888888 I HOPE BY BROWSING THROUGH THIS SITE YOU WILL FIND SOME COMFORTING THOUGHTS, AND KNOWLEDGE WHICH WILL LEAD TO SOME UNDERSTANDING ABOUT STRESS-THERE ARE A VARIETY OF PAGES TO-CHECK AND LEAVE A COMMENT IF YOU WISH TAKE CARE, PRIORITIES/lEE We all live with stress. Some of us more than others, and some do not even realize it. Because we run through the day so quickly, racing to or from work or where ever, perhaps living with an illness or caring for someone with one, each which carries a heavy burden, sometimes we don't take the time to stop- sit back and think about our true priorities. After all life is short, very short. Yesterday is gone forever, we have today, we have tomorrow (although it is not promised,) and we have to realize -what is most important to us? The desire to 'do' something we have wanted to and if has been so long wehave left in the dust.? Our family? That visit to someone who you have been saying you would for so long, Spending that precious time with our chldren who grow so fast and every day that goes bis lost chance to see them grow and more importantly make memories that last a life time.Our dreams? Think, real priorities, they mean different things for everyone. Although you would be surprised how similar they really are. Running the rat race to keep bread on the table is one thing- but even the professional racer knows he/she has to stop and take a drink of water once in a while, and that there is a time when the race is over,and he/she stops,takes a breath, then leaves that race and goes to a place and/or to someone and/or lofestyle where he/she is ' home'. Although the race seems like it means everything to them, (and to some it unfortunately does), the majority know there is more to life than just the 'race''. A TALE OF OF LIFE ON THIS SPINNING WORLD: THE WORLD KEEPS ONE SPINNING, IT SEEMS TO BE WINNING AS WE GO ON FIGHTING TO STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME; BUT AS MUCH AS WE TRY IT SPINS EVER SO FASTER AND FASTER AND SOMETIMES WE FEEL WE'LL JUST GO INSANE... BUT IF TAKE A MOMENT TO STEP BACK FROM THE SPIN , WE MIGHT JUST SEE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE A PART OF RACE; WE CAN SlOW DOWN, SORT OUR PRIORITIES, REMEMBER WHAT WE WERE SPINNING FOR AND TAKE A BREAK FROM IT. KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN RUNNING A RACE, BECAUSE LIFE IS SPINNING BY US, AND EVERYDAY IS ONE MORE CHANCE GONE BY- THAT WE DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO DO THAT ONE OR TWO THINGS WE HAVE BEEN PROMISING OURSELVES WE WOULD. MAYBE SPENDING TIME WITH A LOVED ONE OR TAKING SOME TIME FOR OURSELVES,WHATEVER. THINK ABOUT IT.. ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS...AND IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO STOP SPINNING AND THINK ABOUT AND ACT UPON. THE SPINNING REMINDS US HOW QUICKLY LIFE PASSES, HOW YESTERDAY IS GONE AND TOMORROW IS ALL WE HAVE, AND EVERYDAY WE HAVE LESS TOMORROWS. priorities /Lee |

The Best Gift IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT COUNT IN LIFE; MONEY WON'T DO IT IN ANY AMOUNT- FOR IF WE HAVEN'T LOVE OR CARE; WE WOULD BE LONELY ANYWHERE- THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN COMPENSATE FOR LACK OF FAMILY, FRIEND OR TRUE SOULMATE THE WARMTH AND GLOW YOU FEEL INSIDE WILL NEVER COME FROM SELFISH PRIDE SO SUCCESS CANNOT BE MEASURED BY THE MONEY OR POSITION YOU FIND THE REAL MEASURE OF SUCCESS IS LOVE YOU GIVE AND THEN POSSESS Lee |

SOMETIMES WE THINK WE CAN NEVER GET OUT OF THE 'RUT' WE FIND OURSELVES IN-BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE-TAKE A BREATH, SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE SERIOUSLY AND WHAT IS MAKING YOU FEEL THE WORST ABOUT IT. SEE IF EITHER ON YOUR OWN OR WITH A LOVED ONE, YOU CAN STOP AND LOOK AT THE PROBLEM OBJECTIVELY AND FIRST SEE IF YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU REACT TO IT-THEN SEE IF THERE ARE ANY WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN LESSEN THE BURDEN AND MAKE IT NOT QUITE THE EMOTIONAL TORNADO IT MAY WELL SEEM. AS THE QUOTE INSINUATES, IF YOU WAIT UNTIL THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE, ONLY THEN WILL CHANGE TAKE PLACE-BUT THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE. TRY TO CATCH IT BEFORE IT BECOMES UNBEARABLE, AND EVEN IF IT HAS, TRY THIS EXERCISE TO HELP PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE. OF COURSE IF YOU CANNOT THERE IS ALWAYS COUNSELING, ETC... SO NEVER GIVE UP HOPE THAT YOU CAN LIVE THROUGH STRESSES NO MATTER HOW OVERCOME BY HTEM YOU MAY FEEL. LEE |
