When something awful happens, a person expects to have the associated stress to deal with. Knowing it's going to be part of the deal doesn't really make it any easier to cope with, but yeah, we expect it - in ourselves and in others who are going through something rough.
What has taken me kind of by surprise is the amount of stress associated with some really positive changes going on right now in my life. They're exciting and fun, not anything a person would expect to stress out over. But there you have it.
Good changes are just as stressful as bad ones.
Go figure.
I'm supposed to know this stuff, and so are all of my wonderfully-trained daughters. All of us have the education and experience to know what to expect.
Yet we kind of got a little blind-sided by it. Smack in the middle of the fun we were having planning and executing our change, BANG! There came the stress factor.
My own could perhaps have been anticipated, as it's my life that is in the process of making said change. And, being as my daughters are in the process of helping to make that happen, theirs should have been expected as well.
So.
Thank the Powers Above that each and all of our skills seem to have kicked in just when they're most needed. We haven't lost our way in this journey we're on - and I don't expect we will lose our way as we continue along our path. If one of us falters, we've got exactly what we need to help us keep our balance.
Now if that ain't teamwork I don't know what would be.
