Six hours, I cannot believe it took me 6 hours to get this upgrade done. Of course I took time out to fix dinner and have a small heated conversation with my husband. I don’t even know why the upgrade worked this time and not the last 8 times.

Every time I did the upgrade I lost all the previous posts. This time I changed just one small tiny little detail. Ah, isn’t that the way it always goes. One small detail. So easy to overlook.

Stressed – you bet I was stressed and very colorful language came out. I have a tendency at the most stressful times to swear. My family knows if I start spouting it is time for them to vacate the room.

In spite of the temptation to cry or throw something, I just kept trying and thank God, it finally worked.

We don’t always cope with stressful situations in a quiet graceful manner. Sometimes the inner child comes out screaming. The goal is to have more graceful reactions and less tantrums.

Watch a child learn to ride a bike. Sometimes there is crying and screaming and giving up. But, most kids will go back to that bike over and over until the bike behaves and the child is ruler of all he/she surveys.

Each time you solve a problem, there is a moment or two of peace. It doesn’t last of course. The challenges just keep coming. The important thing is that you solved a problem, you created a solution, you won. And, each time that happens you get stronger and stress loses the power to control or disable you.

until next time – keep calm and carry on
