Stress has been a recurring theme in the lives of many friends and family the past couple of weeks. Some of my friends have lost loved ones, others are facing medical issues, some are just overwhelmed with major changes in their lives, but no matter what, it seems to be affecting many people. I saw this photo when searching for blog ideas and had to smile. This panda is certainly not stressed. Laying on a cool bed of stone, one giant paw swooping toward the water, the panda at the National Zoo in DC appears very relaxed and comfortable with its surroundings. I assisted with a women's conference this past week, and received a book that tells 100 things we can do to feel better. There were a lot of good suggestions in the book, such as exercise and eating right, getting a massage, or just spending time with loved ones. These are all great ideas, but I have to add one more: pray. God can ease our mind, troubles, and help us work through our stressful times. The Lord IS my Shepherd.
