hmmmm...do you ever get a "feeling" and it overtakes you and makes you feel something? It could be joy, sadness, anger, regret...a feeling. Well, I was working today and saw something (well..someone) and I got "that feeling". I knew...i just knew I was right a few years ago (when my baby girl was in Junior High...but it has nothing to do with her personally) when I had that "feeling" then. I knew....at that moment I knew what I had thought was right. At that moment I became sad...very sad. The sad that makes the sun a little less bright and the work a little more "dark". I went to call hunny bunny but he did not answer. Granted, I could not dwell on it (work has this way of taking over everything!!). However, I was not the same...i was...sad. Well...I am home and I still refuse to 100% process it...but that does not stop the sadness. I guess i could be wrong...but I tell you I am usually 100% on when these "feelings" take over, especially when they are drenched with an overwhelming feeling....*sigh* I hope I am wrong but I am telling you I am not....and I am sad.

Wow!! Is it not amazing how much stress can take out of you and how quick it can come on? One minute you are sitting there in a normal state and then BOOM! you get a side swipe that takes you o
ff course!! Well, that is what happened yesterday. I was on a straight course and then the side swipe came. Not good.
Well, I found some good stuff on stress (more John Tesh)....hopefully I can use some of this in the future (teeehehehe).
Try These Tricks to Ease Your Stress
Don’t freak out! If stress is sending you into a tailspin, try these tricks from Quick and Simple Magazine.
Form a fist. The next time you’re stressed, try this trick: Clench your fists tightly for five seconds, then open them. Why does this work? Because when a muscle tenses as much as possible, it becomes able to detense completely. Basically, clenching and releasing your fists is kind of like pushing an internal “reset” button on your body. Which helps you relax.
Look at something blue. Like the blue screensaver on your computer. Or a blue pillow in your living room. Rutgers University researchers found that blue triggers the producti
on of a calming brain chemical. According to Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of 101 Exercises For The Soul, since blue is the color of the ocean and the sky, we automatically associate it with the serene feelings that come with being out in nature.
Belt out a tune. It doesn’t matter if you’re off key! According to researchers at Frankfurt University in Germany, singing can slash the body’s level of stress hormones! Why? Because when we sing, we’re breathing deeply, and this lowers the body’s blood pressure and heart rate.
Help someone. Being kind to others produces a rush of feel-good chemicals in the brain. That’s according to the book Stress Free For Good. That endorphin surge boosts your mood. So help a little old lady cross the street. Or offer to watch your neighbor’s kid while they run to the store.
Here are the Easiest Ways to Lower Your Stress Levels
Stress no more! Here and now, I have the easiest ways ever to calm down, be happier, and lower your stress levels. We found these scientifically proven methods in Woman’s World magazine.
* For instance, battling stress is as easy as turning on Animal Planet – or watching a National Geographic DVD about nature and wildlife. Researchers tried this test. They had volunteers watch either a soap opera, a video of animals, or a blank TV screen. They found that the animal video was hands-down the best at reducing blood pressure and heart rate – which are key signs if stress. So why does watching animals work? Because they naturally fascinate us. That’s according to Dr. Alan Beck from the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue University. D
r. Beck says animals hold our attention and that distracts us from stressful thoughts.
* Another way to get rid of stress is to stop hanging around Debbie Downer or her brother David Downer. The pessimism of negative people is contagious. The effect is so strong that hanging around a negative person will spike your blood pressure faster than being with someone you outright hate! So why do we “catch” pessimism so easily? Psychologist Dr. Adam Duhachek says it’s because we assume that if someone has such a strong negative opinion, it’s for a good reason. So we adopt it without thinking about the other side of the coin.
* Get a 15 minute aromatherapy massage. It really does work! According to the Journal of Clinical Nursing, when emergency room nurses were given 15 minute aromatherapy massages, with fragrant oils and soothing music, their stress levels plunged from 60% to just 8%. Combining the massage with relaxing aromas and music works better than just the massage on its own.

communication...
it is a love hate relationship...to communicate or not to communicate (when i say communicate i don't mean chit chat...we do that every day...). i think communication is essential to every relationship. i also think communication is a bittersweet thing...the truth and nothing but the truth (???)...please! the tr
uth can set you free but it can also force you into places you do not want to go (dark places, places of illusions...). communication...it's like air to life...without it a relationship will perish. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow but there will be a point in that relationship where it will cease to be. How can it not? Going through life's journeys without expressing yourself, your inner thought, your deepest fears, your ugliest secrets, your incredible dreams???? How does one truly live if they do not share these things? Communication...it is such a vital part of humanity (how does one have a relationship with Christ if they cannot communicate??).
One is the sad things about communication is the ability to want to communicate,
the desire to share yourself, the passion of wanting to have someone share them self with you and the sadness of knowing they will not do it. They will not share...they will not communicate (they can chit chat but they cannot communicate). This is such a frustrating and ugly place to be. You can try and try but they choose to put up walls...thick brick walls! You try to go over them, under them, through them and nothing...you think you have made some progress and BOOM! another brick, a thicker layer, more grout...anything and everything to keep the wall erect. Slowly the air is dissipating and weariness sets in (trying to get through walls is a very exhausting endeavor). What to do???
You can exist on the side of the wall. Wait for those rare moments when a drawbridge comes down. Wait for the times when you are allowed to "see" t
hem (the time factor is determined strictly by the one behind the wall). Wait...wait and hope one day the walls will tumble down and the relationship can be flooded with communications (good, bad, angry, loving...it does not matter is is communication!!).
*sighy* Communication...to or not to?????

school shopping!!
I know it sounds funny but i have really enjoyed school shopping with my girls. We have been clothes and school supply shopping (we still have to do the shoe thing....shoes my favorite!!!). We were coming out of Target tonight and it hi
t me...this is the last year of school list shopping (my baby is a Senior this year!!). It was a sad moment! No more lists letting us know what we need to buy. No more getting excited to get them back to school (August is that time
of year where they start getting bored which results in them getting on your nerves which results in mental breakdowns which...are not good). *sighy*
