Day 205 - Stress relief

Have been really having some stress issues here lately and today was not different. Started out well enough but went downhill so I had to get to Jujitsu to blow off some steam. It worked for now but I'm sure it will build up again soon. I need to get some of this off my chest but don't have time right now. Hopefully in the next few days I can work some of these things out because I am getting to the point where I can't even think straight - literally. So sorry if this doesn't make any sense but here's my log and pics for the day.

Joni, I know all about stress in life. I think it's time for another full body massage!! If you need a sounding board, you know my number! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
HOw about these Positive Affirmations?!
"Any hardships I face in this world are nothing compared to the glory that will
be revealed in me. --Based on Romans 8:18"
"I know God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I could possibly
ask or imagine. --Based on Ephesians 3:20"
"I am not shaken by tough times, because I am confident God will bring something
good out of every circumstance, even if I don't understand the how, when, or
why. --Based on Romans 8:28"

(then holds up the shot glass)Here's to quickly resolving Joni's stress! (downs the shot finds some words of wisdom to pass along to her new friend)

"This too shall pass"

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved."


"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

"We can discover this meaning in life in three different ways: (1) by doing a deed; (2) by experiencing a value; and (3) by suffering."

"Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict."

Hey Joni,
Hoping things start to improve for you pronto. I like Suzette's suggestion: FULL BODY MASSAGE! That will be my treat to myself at the end of BBS. Keep smiling!

Adam - thanks so much, it seems silly for me to complain about stress with all the plates you are spinning right now! But it means alot.
Suz - too true, I need to call up Christi! I may give you a call actually, wanted to talk about a couple of things with you, depends on what my day ends up like tomorrow. Thanks for all of the great scriptures, that certainly helps. I try to write down all those kinds of things to commit them more to memory, so I'll have to copy them off of here. As usual you are a fantastic friend. Thanks for being you!
Rob - thanks, it is great to be able to have fellow prayer warriors among the RTP warriors!
Mike G - wow those are some long distance vibes! Thanks so much. One day when I get to Australia, I'll have so much visiting to do!
CK - thanks for the quotes, I always need things like that to get me through times like these. You are great! Quick resolution would be nice but I don't see it in the cards just yet. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?
Lil - yeah, it's been a while for me, once I started getting them, it gets addictive. Don't know if I can wait until the end of BBS but I might have to if my girl isn't around until then. But it will sure help, at least for a little while!

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND WORDS - THIS IS WHY EVEN WHEN I HAVE DOWN DAYS I WANT TO POST BECAUSE THE SUPPORT OF ALL OF YOU MAKES THINGS JUST A LITTLE EASIER TO FACE. YOU ALL ARE ONE OF A KIND!
