simmer down

On the verge of another move (three times in 2 years!) I've been really stressed and short-tempered. please excuse me if you happen to be at the wrong place and the wrong time!  Poor david's been on the receiving end too and I feel pretty bad. Apologies will ensue I promise.

pinky swear.

So why the stress? Well, I just loathe moving. And I always feel like I have to plan and sort everything out. With the 3rd move- its also difficult to really build a "home" and settle in when I never know if I will stay put long enough for that feeling to develop.  Worse yet, this move is only temporary until David and I move AGAIN to a more permanent spot.  yeah. 4 moves in 2 years!

counting back from 10-1 ...

So I sat on the couch for a moment to let it all sink in and I flipped to the Discovery Channel (with collaboration of BBC). Whoa. Their new series Human Planet is amazing! I really had to mentally shut down and shut up my own lingering anxiety and stress down when I watched the daily struggles & accomplishments of people around the world just to survive:

Isn't it so unbelievably beautiful and amazing? A good friend of mine calls many of our issues and stresses "first world problems" and I agree.
