Stress Can Be a Killer

Stress can definitely be a killer
It can turn life upside down
A person might not even realize it
The reason for wearing a frown

It could be something quite simple
Meeting someone the very first time
An interview for a high paying job
Totally oblivious of the signs

We all must be mindful of the pitfalls
Prepare for roadblocks unseen
Wary of all the curves in life's journey
A prodigious challenge it seems

The answer I've found is just let it flow
Probably easier said than done
Gotta try coz the alternative's not good
To fix it, you are the one

To sum up, I'm offering this bit of advice
Been around the block a few times
What I've learned in all my years
Is relax and things will be fine!

Carol Eastman Date: 4/20/2013 10:04:00 AM Grandpa Troll says stress is good for me... He says he gave me a reason to get up, run around(with a bottle of barbecaue sause), and the need to really think (to out think my dragon, that is), and the will to do things(like getting even with my dragon)... He says my acting like a petulent child is better than my falling asleep at the computer every day... Stress may not be good for us... but it's way more fun... some times... Except now I'm looking for new insurance... they don't like dragons! Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 4/21/2013 8:00:00 AM That dragon guy of yours is going to make a whole pile of dough! Thank him for me will you! Hugs from the "about to be" rich old guy! xoxox
