Good Things are Stressers!

Years ago we learned in a psychology class that even good things are stressers. Things that you think of as wonderful and happy occasions cause you stress! Marriage is high on the list of things that cause stress, even though marriage is very happy, and a wonderful occasion. Losing a loved one is not a happy occasion, but it causes a lot of stress also. We need to learn how to handle stress. With our home improvements and everyone pitching in and helping the stress level is high, and it is all good, but there is a lot of stress anyway. After the crisis is past, and the work is finished I will relax, and be very happy about everything that has been accomplished, but for now too many things are happening, with too many people helping, and sometimes I feel like I lose control, even though I don't need to have control of everything and that is part of my trouble wanting to be in control of everything including myself and a lot of people around me. I have wished for, and dreamed of this day coming, only I didn't anticipate the weather freezing everything up, being without water as part of that, but we are okay as we still have a quite a few gallon jugs of water sitting around. It is just that we can't go run water at the kitchen sink, or run the dish washer, but we will be okay, and after this coming day everything will be much better, and I can put some things away, and get some organization again, and enjoy the accomplishment that have happened!
