Don't let being STRESSED....STRESS you out

    When throughout the year I find myself starting to get FRUSTRATED over LITTLE THINGS I have to STOP and RELAX for a SECOND.

    I have to REMIND myself NOT TO SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF.

    Because if you DON'T JUST FLUSH IT quickly it can really BECOME VERY STRESSFUL.

    As I was putting up my Christmas tree ornaments I suddenly LOST MY GRIP and the ORNAMENT I was holding fell to the ground and BROKE.

     I had to STOP and take a DEEP BREATH and remember that to stay in a HOLLY JOLLY MOOD I had to just CLEAN IT UP and JUST FLUSH IT out of my mind.

     I had to be THANKFUL that ONLY ONE BROKE and I DIDN'T BREAK the ENTIRE BOX OF ORNAMENTS.

    I had to KEEP GOING UP AND DOWN the LADDER because I had to KEEP our CHRISTMAS TREE on TOP of the TABLE to prevent OUR PUPPY from destroying all the ORNAMENTS. 

    So LOSING ONLY ONE was a whole lot better than LOSING MY TREASURED ORNAMENTS I have been COLLECTING FOR DECADES.

    But BREAKING that ONE ORNAMENT made me DECIDE that there were a FEW SPECIAL BREAKABLE ORNAMENTS that I would JUST KEEP SAFE by DISPLAYING them on my SHELF instead.

    Because like they say.... If you SEE TROUBLE COMING.... GET OUT OF IT'S WAY to AVOID THE TROUBLE.

   Wishing HAPPY HOLIDAYS to EVERYONE from my family to your family.
