I’m Thankful for Stress?

Thanksgiving is two days away. I normally love this holiday, but this year, I’m just too stressed. ----more---- I’ve got too much work to do and not enough time to do it. And on top of that I have to get ready for a road trip. So, what is normally a great time of year for me is merely very stressful. But as I sat down to think about the fact that I needed to get this podcast done, I realized something important. At least I have things to be stressed about. There are people who respect me enough to ask me for help. There are people who care enough about me that they want to spend time with me. So, while all these demands on my time are stressful. I am grateful for the stress. It means I am actively engaged in the world, and that is as it should be.
