Stress?

This is a week dedicated to fun and relaxation.  I worked in sales for 35 years and made a lot of money but endured increasing levels of stress.  I should have taken more vacations. Once every 5 years is not enough.  We don't understand the impact stress has on us physically, and emotionally.  Too many of us are successful and miserable.  What good is it to have the one if you are living with the other. Stress sneaks up on us gradually like a snake you didn't see until it bit you. This is the reason they call high blood pressure the silent killer.  You don't know there is a problem until you have a massive heart attack and drop over dead.  This happened a few years ago to Tim Russert from NBC News. He never knew he had a heart problem until he was dead. 

I am learning to slow down and enjoy the life I have instead of just chasing the one I don't have.  If we learn to enjoy what we have we can lower the stress in our lives, and live much better lives.
