Are we ever free of stress?
I think about this a lot now that I am getting older. The answer I have come to accept in my life is no, nor should I be realistically. We are frail beings in a harsh environment trying to hang onto this brief time here. Accepting this helps me manage it more proactively to try and scratch out every bit more instead of feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by it.
My gift is that I am still here while most of my high school friends have already passed.
In a couple of weeks I get to witness my oldest grandchild’s high school graduation. The travel will be stressful for me but I can be there.
