The smell of orange blossoms just makes breathing the best thing ever! I love living with my own little citrus trees, which all have blossoms of orange, tangerine, and lemon due to all the rain. Also, the yard guys are taking better care of them this year. Anyway..., the stress level is a little high right now in our neck of the woods, so we're doing our best to learn stress reduction techniques. One of the most stress producing things, according to "YOU: Staying Young", is unfinished tasks! And I totally believed it when it was brought to my attention by Drs. Oz and Roizen. It's getting ridiculous how good we are at postponing the things we want to do in favor of all the "have to do's". But this is no way to live. I keep my perspective by reading blogs of surgeons in Irag and people suffering from cancer or who have little kids who are sick. Also, a lady I work with was in a car accident as a passenger and has chronic pain from the head injuries. The doctors at the pain management clinic are going to try Botox shots since in the last year and a half nothing else is helping. And, yes, she's going to a good psychologist to help her handle the associated emotions. She also lost her sense of smell. But I don't want to close on a down note. There's so much that is right about the world. Actually, all of it is right in that we know we're going to pass through hard times in this world and need to keep praying for courage. And handling hard things makes you proud or pleased with yourself in a wonderful way!
