Well, I had such a good start to my vacation days. I spent yesterday in my sewing room. Leon was watching football. I enjoyed every minute of it! Great therapy. Today started out the same way. I was being creative at the same time as I had a lot of time to think as well as plan what to bring for Thanksgiving. Then something happened - pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. HOwever it bothered me the rest of the day. It "festered" in me all day long. By tonight I have a headache. Why do I let things like this bother me so bad? I don't think the other person thought twice about it. But it ruined my entire afternoon and it shouldn't have. I have to learn how to let those things go. But how? How do I tell my brain to stop thinking about it. This is the main reason I don't always enjoy what is going on in my life. The most important thing to me right now is to ejoy every minute of the rest of my life. Okay that is what I will be contemplating the rest of my vacation. On a side note, I think I have to stop posting from my Kindle. On top of the auto correct, it is very hard to do any corrections at all.

I am so excited to have the next week off. Ifound I couple hardly toleration.g getting up in the morning to go to work. I just need some time off. Today I went to the craft show I Files and got a few Christmas gifts. Next week I intend to sew up some Christmas gifts. Sewing is very theraputic for me. I really need that therapy. I am also looking forward to being home by myself for several days. I love the feeling of cacooning myself here kn the house. On another note, I had a day of continuing ed this past week. It was very interesting. I hats to wish my life away, but this class made me very anxious for retirement. I want to retire while I am still in good health and can do traveling. In the mean time I want to really enjoy life. The next week I am going to figure out how I can do that. How can enjoy every day as tjhough it could be my last. Life is too short to waste it away!

This past week has been a little stressful at work. I am glad that is all over. I am not sure if I caught a cold from one of the kids or if I am just so worn down from worry that I was an easy target for a fold bug. Anyway, I have spent the last two nights sleeping in my chair because I was having a tough time breathing. It also gave me more time to think - yes I have been doing a lot of thinking. This time I thought a lot about stress. They say you make your own stress. I guess I do understand that. If the same thing happened to two. Different people, it might be very stressful to one person and not the other. So, it is my goal going forward to not let things at work make me fell stressed. I think I mentioned this before, but this time I am going to try extra hard to not let things bother me.
