Busy Week

It has been a busy week, a busy month in fact. I work in finance and so have year end stuff to do besides normal stuff for the month. But boy do my days fly. I love what I do and where I work. I am blessed with my job. It was hard moving to a new area and finding a job this past June especially I had just done that less than 2 years ago when I married my husband. I joked that aren't young folks supposed to be the ones that pick up and move constantly. Hopefully this is it for at least awhile. Many changes have happened in my life these past 4 years. These have also happened in my kids lives as well. But the only constant in life is change but it can be stressful. It is funny how there are articles on cutting stress out of ones life whereas I think the key is learning how to handle stress in a positive way. Stress is gonna happen, well at least in my life, I am learning to handle it. I am not always successful but sometimes I am. One of my favorite quotes is from Michael J Fox's book "Always Looking Up"

"So, sure, it may be one step forward and two steps back, but after a time with Parkinson's, I've learned that what is important is making that one step count; always looking up."

One can substitute Parkinson's for whatever they are facing in their lives and while it might not be something serious as Parkinson's, a person can only deal with what they experience. So I will strive to also make that one step count and always looking up.
