I'm stressing...

I'm thinking that I might take up meditation. I have to find a way to de-stress everyday. Maybe once I begin my workouts that will help me de-stress enough. Who knows...all I know is I'm friggin stressed out. I know that everyone has their own trials and tribulations and there are some people that are going through really horrible things, but I can only speak for myself and how my stress affects me. I am a truly blessed individual. I have a husband that loves me, two healthy kids, a job that I love, and many other things to be thankful for...and I am thankful!  Even with all of that, my life is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Do I expect it to be? No...I don't. I just want things to run smoothly once in a while. Is that too much to ask? Well some days it is. I know in every trial and every tribulation there is a lesson to be learned. They say that "God never gives us anything we can't handle". I know that to be true, but sometimes my shoulders feel a little overloaded. I had a really candid conversation with someone at work the other day about this very thing. He gave me some good advice...fall to your knees and ask Heavenly Father to help carry some of the burden, to help guide me through. This has always been difficult for me. I have trouble asking for help even from him. Since that conversation, I have been slowly getting better about asking. This journey has already changed my life by leaps and bounds and it will continue to do so. I'm a little nervous how the stress will affect my transformation and journey. That is something that I will have to work on every single day.
