Stress is a part of life. This is very true. The past few months it has been a very big part of my life. There has been a lot of stress going on at the moment. Things that are out of my control have been stressing me out and some things that I do have control over have been stressing me out.
One thing that has been worrying and stressing me is my mother-in-laws health. She has been battling with cancer. She has gone through chemo and now surgery. The doctors are feeling pretty positive that they have gotten all the cancerous cells. She might have to have 2 more rounds of chemo but she is strong. I know that she will have a battle with pain while her body heals from surgery. But for the most part I think we can breath a little sigh of relief that it looks like she will and is beating this battle! So I think that this stress can be a little eased in my mind.
Another worry is with money but hey who doesn't have this worry. It's the same old thing that everyone goes through will there be enough to pay the bills? Will there be money for food? This stress is always there but it does go away. This is everyone's worry right? We have all been there done that!
Then there is the worry of my health but that is one stress that I try to just internalize and not bother anyone with. After all at this point there isn't much anyone including the doctors can do about it. It is just my lot to live with and try not to worry to much about.
Stress is a part of life but so is joy and happiness. Though some stresses we can over come and some may always be there it's the way we hold our head up high and deal with our stress that matters. Not really what the stress is!
Any way I will live for the moments of breathing with relief. Today we have one of those moments. With my mother-in-law out of surgery in good spirits and the doctors thinking positively about the cancer. So way to go Alice you made it through one more hurdle and the rest is down a road of recovery from here!!
