   Wow. I was really inspired. The statements are all true, but sometimes I tend to forget what to do. Every time I'm down and think that I haven't had anything that I want in life, I think of my family and friends. They arethe reasons why I should be thankful to God.

   I have to keep reminding myself Katzkie, there are so many distractions in this busy environment.
   For the week that lies ahead:
   My first concern is to enjoy each day free of stress and worry.
   Work will not consume me - there are more important things.
   I will detail my job duties and my daily life responsibilities.
   My needs will be simple and pleasant with nothing artificial.
   I will enjoy my non-material assets: family, friends, and me.
   Nature belongs to me too, from the vast expanse to tiny life.
   I will see fields, mountains, clouds, flowers, insects and birds.
   And end each day forgetting troubles and remembering highlights.
   
   A problem may arise and I will confidently and calmly:
   Gather all the facts.
   Describe the problem in detail.
   List all the possible solutions.
   List the advantages and disadvantages of each.
   Detail what to do.
   And follow through.
   
   If I should stray into that world of stress and worry it will be time to stop and relax. I will take easy deep breaths and think a peaceful scene, real or imaginary. Like a fresh farm field or an ocean sunset.
   
   My antidepressant is handy: Accept myself as I am and others as they are.
   
   From time to time I'll remind myself that I have so much to be thankful for.

   RealTalktime - I like the quote starting your blog.
   "Do not prepare the path for the child,Prepare the child for the path and he will find his way."
   So wise and true.
