"YES I LOVE STRESS"

What is your definition of stress? We are hearing so many people saying, "Life is too short".  After we have experienced so much trauma and death of close friends and family.  Everyone says they want to live life to the fullest.  Life is Life.  It has its ups & downs, sadness, happiness, and just when you think you are going through something so horrifying, we see the news and hear stories of children battling an fatal illness and somehow, we reposition ourselves and see that our lives is GRAND compared to many others.  Some people our homeless or do not know where there next meal is coming from, and here we are with a belly full, a bed and a roof over our heads.  It may not be your dream home, but it's your home.  It may not be the life you expected or planned, but you have LIFE.

Everyday we hear the word STRESS and ways to cope with STRESS, but who ever said that STRESS is a bad thing,  Why do we look at everything as a negative source.  I refuse to look at things in a negative light any longer, but decided to use a different  type of light bulb.  I will take things and turn it into a positive resource.  STRESS is part of life, but it depends on how or what we make of it.  Will we let STRESS consume our lives, we should because we will learn to take it as it is and deal with it in another meaning.
As I have just completed Human Development, I have learned what human, development, stress, depression and mostly; LIFE and life span from Infancy until Death.  From the beginning of birth and how we related and communicate to our new found WORLD  and to facing the END.
Think of all the things you have seen, experienced, going through, lived, adapted to new surroundings and then, imagine yourself facing what occurs as we age. 
I thank GOD for allowing me the opportunity to be in the Health care Field at all angles and getting to meet some very impressive, experienced and full of life individuals.  Once I worked around, Alzheimer patients, I enjoyed it even more.  One day, they are 85 and the next day they are 15.  I remember many of our residents telling me not to get old.  Does STRESS go away as we age? Yes.
Depression may even take place, but these residents tell you stories and dress fancy just to come eat a meal and that may be the highlight of their day.  I became close too many and learned to LISTEN because one day, WE ALL will become older, wiser and  yes, my definition of STRESS may decrease, but until then, I will continue to STRESS.
