Dear Haters
I love you . . . Because if you weren't there with all your belly-aching, we certainly would take things for granted.

Rushed?
We rush. Sometimes too much.
"Being Mad Bring Us Nowhere"
Lighten up and lighten how the load feels on you. Make your burden feel like less than it is. Remember that old saying is true: It's not the load, it's how you carry it.
