A few episodes of tachycardia, a couple of trips to the ER, a few EKG's and multiple medications, and suddenly everyone thinks you are crazy. "You need to find better ways of dealing with stress" or "Maybe you should consider talking to someone...like a professional." Yikes!!! These are not words that instill a great deal of self confidence in a person, yet they do cause one to take a good look at their life and their coping strategies, or lack thereof.
However, before I jump on the "therapy" band wagon, I think I'll try something more fun. Blogging seems like it might be fun, somewhat frustrating but still fun, so I'm going to give it a whirl. My goal here is to focus on the many positive things in my life in an attempt to stop worrying so much about the other stuff. We all have stress, especially these days, and I envy those people who can just tuck things away. I'm not good at that. I tend to worry about things until I find a solution to whatever it is that I'm worrying about. Apparently, this is not a good strategy so I'm adopting a new strategy and you're looking at it. This blog will be about happy things, things that make me smile, things that make me laugh and things that offer me some peace of mind. I will gratefully welcome suggestions from others in terms of ways to relax and let things go. Thanks for joining me on this new journey.

Hi Sweets,
I love that you have a blog. You can use it for so many good things! Like knitting projects (pictures), your receipe for pesto sandwiches, and lots of pictures.
You are one very special person! mom
Thanks mom, you've always been and always will be my biggest fan. I love you.
Great blog cousin! I've had a lot of fun doing this since May or so. More fun than I thought and it's a good way to express yourself. I also look at it as sort of a time capsule. You never know, perhaps long after we're gone we'll have family members who will be interested in who we were, what we valued, what kinds of things we did in our lives, etc.
The prospect of that just seems kind of cool to me.
I hope you continue on the path to good health and of course wish you the best of everything.
And, hi, Marilyn. It's been a while!
Joe
