Pondering the Origins of Stress
I found myself today pondering the origins of stress. Where is my stress coming from? Well, basically stress is coming from every aspect of my life, and I don't mind having stress, but I hate that I am becoming so crabby as a result! Something about dealing with a baby in addition to an 11 yo seems to wear on me more than usual these days. I think it is more the lack of satisfaction my little one derives from the simple things, and his screeching demands for more of whatever he cannot yet verbalize he is left wanting. Then add in Xander
trying to be helpful and yet getting more in the way than helping move things out of the way. I love my kids, and I treasure them, but for some reason just thinking about them makes my blood pressure seem to sore these
last few days. Ok, so being a 911 dispatcher is not exactly the stress free job that one would assume. For some reason helping others is not as relaxing as one would hope it could be. In my delving into this topic in my own head, which is not empty as previously was believed, I have realized a lot of the stress is self 
induced. I am taking way too much personally and carrying it around with me instead of just letting it go. I had established about 2-3 months ago that I need to do more moving around and less sitting on my can, and now I need to put that into action. 
Nothing relieves stress like exercise. Maybe this is my revelation into a New Years Resolution, I need to move to de-stress. I need to de-stress to remain sane. And maybe somewhere along the way I will be able to be healthy for an extended period of time and all this will just stop bringing me down! Of course again to offset the post, I have included some of my favorite new pictures of my family. I hope at least those you enjoyed!
