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
