GREAT reminder, and something that I think needs to be tattooed on my hand!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021412971457928634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695637518572363731.post-40722102315419211262012-12-06T10:36:27.328-05:002012-12-06T10:36:27.328-05:00I'm catching up on my blogs and I just had to ...I'm catching up on my blogs and I just had to leave a comment. Stress tends to catch me off guard. I have a way of ignoring it until it overwhelms me and then the Ativan comes out (also calling my hubby so he can just talk to me to redirect my focus helps). Several years ago,during a really low point I kept seeing bumperstickers all over the place with the phrase "too blessed to be stressed" on them. One day I was sitting in a drive thru starting at the bumper in front of me and thinking how I couldn't get away from that phrase. Then I realized maybe there was a reason for that, maybe God was trying to get my attention. I may never be too blessed to be stressed but now I know that no matter how stressed I am I am STILL BLESSED. And God is only a whisper away ...or a bumper ..whatever works. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780390547410958143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695637518572363731.post-39708025415390474622012-11-28T21:00:53.176-05:002012-11-28T21:00:53.176-05:00Thanks for stopping by Dawn!

Practice makes progress, it doesn't have to be perfection. Hope you have a great holiday season.dawn@joyfulscribblingshttp://www.joyfulscribblings.comnoreply@blogger.com
