Relieving One's Self of Stress

There are so many things we like to share
And bring love in to take away care
The best way to relieve stress
Is to remember the good times and happiness

We hear the words of grief and trouble
And we know that we can halve it and not double
We have been given the gift to see the funny side
With laughter and smiles so far and wide

Sharing our stories and  kind words from the start
And the pleasure we bring will melt every heart
And help to heal loneliness, fear and pain
Then as we leave and please come again

Your outlook on life is to be admired, Vera. At times we stress ourselves with needless worries, building mountains out of molehills. Things are not always as bad as they seem! ~ Just read Cherl's note to you after her op. I still find it hard to believe that she's not with us anymore! She had so many plans! She was a lovely, kind and dear friend. // Best regards...paul

Thank you so much Paul, I do stress sometimes but I try not to but as you said we all stress at times, in this day and age is it any wonder with all the trouble that is going on in the world. Yes I also miss Cheryl, I was so sure she would recover but it wasn't meant to be, her daughter keeps in touch with me now so I haven't only lost Cheryl but I gained her daughter, lovely family, Take care my friend.......Vera
