Woke very early and knew I needed to be up. Consequently, I did just that, took my meds, made coffee, came into the sitting room, opened psyche central and promptly went back to sleep for another four hours.

That was odd................

I have a very heavy week next week and knowing each of those are stress inducers, I'm assuming the worst but hoping for the best. I've been on a really big high which signals the low will also be as big or bigger. I can't say I'm looking forward to that, but I'm going to approach each moment of potential stress with as good an attitude as I can possibly muster.

WOW - that's a lot to ask from me, but I'm goin gto give it a good college try. I've done that a lot in my life and haven't always succeeded. I hope by now I'd of learned some great coping mechanisms. As my God John Bovey said, if you don't like what's happening in the particular moment, or how you're reacting to what's taking place, simply 'stop it'. I shall carry that with me. Hopefully I'll be able to reach into my 'center' and find that several times within each of those stressor moments.

:: But, I'm pensive. I don't always trust me to do well. (did I tell you that as I write this my eyes are literally crossing? It's rather an odd thing to deal with so early in the morning. I do hope it passes.)
