We moved into a townhouse about a month & a half ago and love the new home and area. Well, a week ago my mom took a tumble down the stairs and broke her shoulder pretty severely. In the process of getting checked out, her X-rays showed prior density in her shoulder from a calcified mass. Tomorrow morning she’s having surgery to repair her shoulder and also take a sample of the mass to rule out any cancer. I lost my dad to cancer and miss him more and more each day. I don’t know what I’d do without my mom. She is my rock, my strength, my everything. I know everything happens for a reason and this is just another trial our family will overcome. I just pray for peace and understanding throughout this time and that my mom’s surgery goes as smoothly as possible tomorrow.

Grow Up
I told ‘em all to stick it
I left town with a dime to my name
I said, I’m done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing gameGot my band and a light that won’t go out
Been burning since the day I was born
So I cried just a little then I’ll dry my eyes
Cause I’m not a little girl no moreSome of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I’m gonna leave you behindStand in line for so long just to picket
Something I will never understand
Aren’t you tried of always being mad at the world?
Won’t you just admit you don’t careAnd baby, I don’t want your pity
So don’t feel sad for me
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
Maybe we’re both just living out our dreamSome of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I’m gonna leave you behind -
Lesson About Stress
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and
explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, ‘half empty or half full?’She fooled them all …. “How heavy is this glass of water?” she inquired with a smile. Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied , “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She
continued, “and that’s the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens
all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.”“As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night… Pick them up tomorrow.
