Stress

In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy,
to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.” ~~Lee Iacocca
I love this quote. I think it's because that is exactly how I
handle stress...especially when the situation is out of my
control. Channel all of that energy into something good!
That, and a bubble bath makes me feel better!
Calgon...take me away!

  3. Brilliant way to handle stress, Betsy! Especially the bubble bath part. The quote is easy for him to say - he's got bags of money and a good butter substitute. But it's true.

  7. When my hair was shorter I looked like that every day when I got out of bed!

    I took my first bubble bath in my big tub this last weekend...definitely a stress reliever!

    We had you beat this time — we were somewhere around 7 or 8 degrees. It's your turn now. :)

  8. Jill ~ the few times we had to bathe our caths they looked like this! I was always amazed how thin they were under all that fur!

  9. Kayren ~ 7 or 8 degrees? Wow...at least the sun is shining with our 10 degrees this afternoon! Brrr. I'm staying inside...and will probably have a long, hot soak in the tub tonight!...not just a stress reliever, but a great way to warm up!

  21. Adorable! Doesn't it feel so good when you step out of the bubble bath and feel so clean through and through?It's so relaxing and those little wrinkles on your fingers feel so neat like skin corduroy.

  22. That cat! I feel like that too often. Didn't know I looked so electrifying.

  23. Now, at last, I know why I go to the barber.

  27. I have a similar philosophy! Hey ... I'm hoping your window-washing plans weren't indicative of stress. Did you clean them yet? If/when you do, share what worked well!
