Priorities

There are times when things can get so overwhelming that everyone needs some time away from it all. However, there are also times when a person can't really get away from it. The person has to see it through and only then will it pass. These can be really difficult times. The last couple of years have been very tough on me. I've been under constant stress. If it's not one thing it's another. One thing right after the other. I have tried to keep my head up and be strong and do everything i can do to be positive and try and get through this but i'm having a very hard time. I continue to use the tools i've learned to stay calm and try to relax. They help but they can only help so much when the situations are ongoing. Let's face it, if stressful things continue to happen, if problems keep coming up, if there are no chance of breaks, then that can really wear you down. Yesterday i finally realized that i had to do something drastic. I NEEDED a change desperately. Every bit of stress now has taken it's toll on me and i really need a break. My top priority right now is my youngest son. A situation came up that i really need to take care of concerning him. I've actually been really worried sick about it. It's probably nothing to stress about but it's really bringing me down. If it wasn't for that, i would probably not feel the need to make a drastic change. I would brave everything that was going on as is and continue with how i had originally planned on getting through them. I'm a planner. I plan things out and get them done in an orderly fashion. That's been working like a charm for me for a while. I really recommend that for everyone. Make a plan and then make it happen! Anyway, the drastic change i'm going to make is quit my regular full time job at the store and become a work at home mom and just build my home business. This will give me so much more time to take care of the situation with my little one. He's my priority and i'm going to do everything i can to make things work and help him. He's a great boy and i love him so much! Thanx for listening...

Hi, I've been a stay-at-home-mom for 22 years. It is the best thing I ever did for my kids. Here is a website you may be interested in http://www.quietmind.info/index.htm
