Take a deep breath

There are literally days when I sit at my desk in the office and I am overwhelmed. The weight of responsibility feels huge. I get focused on my never-ending "To Do" list which seems to regenerate itself magically. You cross off one thing and instaneously three more things are in its place. There are questions waiting to be answered. Your inbox keeps saying, "you've got mail." Your phone keeps beeping that there is a message waiting. AHHHHHH!!!!!

It is in those hectic moments of my day that I am reminded that all I really need to do is keep breathing. That's right, just take a deep breath. Oh the responsibility will still be there, the questions will still need answering, the inbox and phone will keep sending me those annoying electronic notifications;however, I will still be breathing and that is good for the moment.

  1. Yesterday I had a request on Facebook to be a friend of a gentleman I had never heard of but his desire to be my friend was b/c of a comment I made about Jesus....I accepted his friendship and Dr. T he is a pastor in a little church in Kenya......so I gave him your name as a friend to search....his name is Peter Muriu...
