its an ugly thing

Stress that is....I hate it....very much so. I try very hard to be a mellow person, not getting too stressed out in life when its not needed. But this last week and a bit it has been very stressful....the red ugly monster of stress seemed to set up camp in our house. It wasnt something that could be avoided, the vehicle issue had to be dealt with and with me working in the field for seeding meant I wasn't home at a regularly set time frame....which doesn't help the frustration. And now the stress is receding leaving only tired and worn out us. the girls are sick, with breathing issues which adds to the stress but I think the worst of the storm has past...now we just need to recover. I work a concert saturday night, which I was looking forward to but now in light of the onslaught of stressfulness I wouldnt mind more time to spend with my beautiful loving wife and just relax. and now I feel like I am babbling a bit so I'll pick a poem and go back to reading my tradepaperback that came in the mail :)

Challenges

I was s l o w

at first

but I got faster

better

each time I did it again

until I was the fastest

I was weak

at first

barely able to move it

but I got stronger

the more I did it

until it wasn’t even a question

of if I could move it

but where I would put it down

My life is constantly filled

with one thought

“Where is my next Everest?”

as I strive through all

the personal challenges

to be the best I can be
