Your Daily Stress

Everyone needs a break from routine It can drive us right to the brink The stresses we feel just trying to get through Are enough to drive us to drink Doesn't take much, could be quite simple Like changing the order of things May not seem much but sure does wonders For one's erratic mood swings Maybe drive a different route to the office Have lunch at 1:00 instead of 12:00 There are a myriad of things we can do each day That we discover the deeper we delve The mental health of each of us individuals Will improve by leaps and bounds Just a small change in our daily routine Is usually enough I've found So write me and tell me how you make out Here's wishing you much success The effort can be small but the benefits are big In alleviating your daily stress © Jack Ellison 2014

Thanks for the offer to take in Dragon! My stress will go down dramatically! A Lot! And I'll send his Aunt Gertrude, the ice dragon. So you'd probably be wise to put on some clothes... And maybe a fire retardant suit, too! They should be able to stir up your life with ease. Oh, By the way! The penguins want to come too... So you'll need to stock up on LOTS of FISH! Ice fishing will help cut those costs... Again, thanks for the offer... You are a peach! Hope Cathie doesn't mind what you've done!

I try not to keep a strict daily routine! I might have a general one, an outline of one, but things can be interchanged due to the outcomes of the day! It is healthy to keep the routine loose, if it is too rigid any little thing could throw you off balance! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this enlightening poem here this morning my friend! What a fantastic piece this one truly is, you've done excellent with this write! Great Work!!

Some may not even be aware of their stress but in this day and age, pretty well no one escapes it!
