Stress

There is an old song by David Bowie and Queen call Pressure. So I am feeling the pressure of life and work. It seems like everywhere I turn it is there. So all I can do is just climb over it. My dear bride quoted me a line from a book that she is reading that states that "You are Bigger than you Problems!" If not the problems will be bigger than you. So my main goal for the day (work...nope) is to overcome my problems. NOT let them overcome me. To the day I say "Here I am...sure I have pressue and stress, but I will NOT let them beat me. I am bigger than my problems!"

Now that I say that how do I overcome my problems? ...I don't know. Ok, I do know how. One step at a time. Some are baby steps, others are larger than life. But if I move forward when I fall I will fall forward. (wow it is just starting to feel like a good cliche day. I wonder how many more I can use this day. Funny how a good cliche just makes you feel better.) I think what I really need is my flip flops and a good hawaiin shirt.
Oh and Becky...yes I am writing on my blog. I may not do it every day (ok or even every week) but I am writing...occasionally.

Another song just came to mind. To Life from Fiddler on the Roof.

To life, l'chai-im!
L'chai-im, l'chai-im, to life!
One day it's honey and raisin cake,
Next day a stomach ache,
Drink L'chai-im, to life!

Our great men have written words of
Wisdom to be used
When hardship must be faced;
Life obliges us with hardship
So the words of wisdom
shouldn't go to waste.

To us and our good fortune
Be happy be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes
Here's to whatever comes,
Drink l'chaim, to life!

A great message indeed. May we all take what the Lord blesses us with.
