I can watch the news again and not have my blood pressure go through the roof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is not the scandal of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government is working again kinda sorta. Yes, there are still obstructionists and whiners not making this easy but there is a feeling of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that takes my stress level way down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had some other stressors add last week that are gone now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My body appreciates it a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I miss kickboxing. I loved the activity and punching the heck out of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know part of the reason I have made it to this point without having a total collapse is the walks that Caroline and I have taken and the exercise we have gotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think having a job helps my mental health because it gives me other things to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am better than last week and I hope to feel even better next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am grateful that I can watch the news again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
