Sometimes Life Gets to be Too Much


And then I have to remind myself to breathe. To sort out what's in my power to fix, and what's beyond me. To pull my shoulders down from where they're hunched around my ears. To remember that I'm safe, warm, sheltered, and fed. To be thankful that everyone in my family is healthy, and that as a country we aren't under attack. To pat my dog and enjoy his kisses. And to color. 

What do you do when you're feeling overwhelmed?

Sorry to hear you're under stress but glad you have ways of dealing with it. Me? I definitely go hug my dogs and obey their orders.
