@divine1966, thanks so much for those 2 articles, they're very helpful!!!! And thanks as well for your other post.....

I have a tendency to be rather idealistic. I know I need to keep that in mind. I have this vision of how things should be, and it's probably unrealistic. Life happens, stress happens... as you pointed out, external stressors cannot be helped or controlled. But yeah, I agree that internal stressors can be controlled and minimized. That's what we're working on.

Thanks! Hugs.
