You have my prayers too!

Wishing you all the very best!

If someone can get you something, ask them to pick up a Mandala coloring book and a set of colored pencils for you (they have them at WalMart). It is mindful meditation practice that is incredibly calming. You can also try (this works!) Bergamot essential oil. If you want to get fancy, mix it with Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Frankincense.

Painter, I think I just fell in love with you a little. Guess what I already have for stress relief? I also adore essential oils, and you just named one of my favorite blends.

Sigh. My heart just skipped a happy beat for you.

Prayers to you.

I know you are facing a lot, and it would make anyone sick.

I know it seems hard to imagine relaxing, but try at least to treat yourself. Get a massage, buy yourself some flowers, get a friend to take you out to a comedy club. Something. You deserve some kindness and care. If it were a friend you'd do it for them. Be your own friend too.

One day in late summer, an old farmer was working in his field with his old sick horse. The farmer felt compassion for the horse and desired to lift its burden. So he left his horse loose to go the mountains and live out the rest of its life.

Soon after, neighbors from the nearby village visited, offering their condolences and said, "What a shame. Now your only horse is gone. How unfortunate you are!. You must be very sad. How will you live, work the land, and prosper?" The farmer replied: "Who knows? We shall see".

Two days later the old horse came back now rejuvenated after meandering in the mountainsides while eating the wild grasses. He came back with twelve new younger and healthy horses which followed the old horse into the corral.
Word got out in the village of the old farmer's good fortune and it wasn't long before people stopped by to congratulate the farmer on his good luck. "How fortunate you are!" they exclaimed. You must be very happy!" Again, the farmer softly said, "Who knows? We shall see."

At daybreak on the next morning, the farmer's only son set off to attempt to train the new wild horses, but the farmer's son was thrown to the ground and broke his leg. One by one villagers arrived during the day to bemoan the farmer's latest misfortune. "Oh, what a tragedy! Your son won't be able to help you farm with a broken leg. You'll have to do all the work yourself, How will you survive? You must be very sad". they said. Calmly going about his usual business the farmer answered, "Who knows? We shall see"
Several days later a war broke out. The Emperor's men arrived in the village demanding that young men come with them to be conscripted into the Emperor's army. As it happened the farmer's son was deemed unfit because of his broken leg. "What very good fortune you have!!" the villagers exclaimed as their own young sons were marched away. "You must be very happy." "Who knows? We shall see!", replied the old farmer as he headed off to work his field alone.
As time went on the broken leg healed but the son was left with a slight limp. Again the neighbors came to pay their condolences. "Oh what bad luck. Too bad for you"! But the old farmer simply replied; "Who knows? We shall see."

As it turned out the other young village boys had died in the war and the old farmer and his son were the only able bodied men capable of working the village lands. The old farmer became wealthy and was very generous to the villagers. They said: "Oh how fortunate we are, you must be very happy", to which the old farmer replied, "Who knows? We shall see!"

I am glad that you are under a doctor's supervision and are receiving treatment for your condition. You are on a difficult and stressful section of your path right now. How unfortunate you are!. You must be very sad. How will you live, work, and prosper?"

Ancaire replies: "Who knows? We shall see".

That is too funny! I hope you get it all out and use it. I put the aromatherapy blend on my pillow every night and sleep much better.

I had to get the Mandala book after starting my new part time job that was getting me very stressed. Just 10 minutes got my blood pressure and heart rate down.
