The days are long and hot. Stress is sticking to me like sweat. I am trying pilates and guided visualization to release the stress. Releasing it doesn't seem to be the problem but keeping at bay is like a crab trying to stay on the beach at high tide, only I bet the crab is cooler. You know it's hot when pool feels like a tepid bath and a swim cap melts on the waterfall.
I am visualizing a cool breeze, a hammock, a good book and children's laughter in the background.
Did I mention it was 107 today and I have bronchitis? Oh I'm sorry I'm supposed to be visualizing. I hear a babbling brook, It is a lovely 72 degrees, I am a fit 125 pounds, I have compliant and selfless children, there is an extra 10,000 dollars in my bank account, Brad has completed all his honey dos. I am not sure this is relaxing me. Oh, I'm supposed to think about all the things I am thankful for! I am thankful for lessons my children teach me everyday about communication, priorities, patience and unconditional love. I am thankful for air conditioners and Ambien.
