I consider myself as being blessed by the people in my life, especially my family. How can anyone possibly not feel that warm feeling of security and love that only comes from friends and family who truly, and without reservation, consider you as a trusted and valued person. When things come your way that are stressful, mean, or an obstacle to one of your goals, just stand back and assess the situation on a scale of 1 to 10 - with 10 having the highest stress factor - and, most times, you can see how it should really matter in your life. Most things fall into the 1-5 range and can be dealt with fairly easily once you see how it really should be rated. There are even times that the number-factor can range BELOW 1 - and it will make you laugh at your concern!! Thanks to all those that love me unconditionally as I am.
