I am feeling spread a little thin these days. I don't have a ton on my plate but am feeling the need to be many things at one time right now. Today I had some time to take a few polaroids this morning but had no time to scan and load them on my computer. I have receive several amazing gifts in the mail but have yet to post them. To bring myself a little piece of mind I made a to do list. I feel better now but still don't have any great pictures to blog (YET). So instead I give you my new glasses and some japanese craft books.
I hope everyone is enjoying October. So tell me what do you do to keep your stress level in check?
I love the glasses!
My major stress-reliever is cleaning! DH calls them my "stress induced cleaning sprees!" When I'm feeling like I'm at the end of my rope, that's when I get some major housework done! It seems backwards, but there's something about clean sheets and shiny floors that is so zen!

Sorry for your stress. I find that if I keep my house in order it really helps me. This is very hard, for when I AM stressed, I don't feel like doing anything. I put my earbuds in and switch to Auto Pilot. For some insane reason cleaning my house de-stresses me. Try it, you might like it. Good luck.XOXO

I love your glasses! When the time comes for me to get a pair, I want a pair just like yours! And Japanese craft books...yay!
Well, dearie, when I'm stressed I sleep, or take a walk, or the always popular EAT. Though the suggestions of cleaning sound like a good one...you're bound to feel in-control and productive after doing that!

drink. but i'm sure that's not a surprise.
lists help. if i'm out of control, a list will help me feel a little less crazy. and the satisfaction of crossing items off...yum. also: learning to say no, or realizing there's always tomorrow to do get it done, is very difficult to learn, but is powerful. hang in there!
ps. the photo is beautiful.

We are not discussing the fact that I double up on my antidepressants when it's really stressful. We are definitely not.
