Stress

Lately, I have been so stressed, that I am stressed out about being stressed out. I thought I would look up a few quotes on stress and share them with everyone. I cannot possibly be the only one who feels this way. I have heard it said, several different ways that God will never give you more than you can handle, but I believe he is giving me too much credit.

Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.  ~Margaret Fuller
