Just stay on me about it, okay? It's about stress and health issues. It may help you; it helped me.<BR/><BR/>Back when I was 25 and had:<BR/>~no children<BR/>~hair with its own zip code<BR/>~my own business<BR/>~several college-aged employees<BR/><BR/>I used to say, "I am always one of two ages: four or one hundred. I'm ___ today." It helped to declare it.<BR/><BR/>Now that I'm 20 pounds heavier, a mom, a writer of dubious free internet crap, and a middle-aged cat lady, I'm always 100. But it helps to declare it.<BR/><BR/>Adore you, darlin' -- e-mail me if you feel like it and I'll give you more drivel!<BR/><BR/>-- Lauriefooleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437690389824744691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-69019798723950930752008-07-27T23:32:00.000-04:002008-07-27T23:32:00.000-04:00Hey, cats.

There's a reason we're related and we've been friends all these years...you keep me straight.<BR/><BR/>I know that life is good, I know that I need to surrender to the things that bother me, but I need you to keep reminding me because I forget often.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for doing that. <BR/><BR/>Love you and your laugh.

That is what my husband says. I know that is cruel, but it is reality check. I try to think positive and know tomorrow will be a better day. You will be rewarded for your hard work. You are always sweet and nice to people. You have a few jewels in your crown, know that. One more thing. Have you noticed that the things that bug you the most and pluck your last nerve seem to happen the most frequently? I suggest if you stop giving into them and say I'm not gonna let this bother me today. take a deep breath and have aglass of wine.
