Have felt this way at times but these days, the last year or so, I have felt more at peace with myself than I ever have. I have been used to allot of stress but today, I feel like I am used to the opposite. My life has undergone a major over haul in the last four years though so. Thanks for the advice.

Spend most of life stressed and do feel like I spend most of my life reaching for the weekend, only to find myself thinking about Monday being right around the corner.

As the Nickelback song goes something's gotta go wrong, 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good. That seems to be the story of my life nowdays.

Great advice, I am now very relaxed and calm, since I switched positions where I work ;-)

You know, as I have gotten older, I don't worry about it anymore. I just live my life. I know there will be seasons of sadness, happiness, etc, depending on what's going on. I've come to realize they too shall pass. I just love my life, all of it.

I'm constantly having to remind myself that life is fleeting and I have to enjoy every minute.

Wonderful advice, Carol. You described what used to be my life before I retired. Now I do what I want, when I want and it's heavenly. I now know what the phrase "Youth is wasted on the young" means. Now I dn't have the stamina or physical capabilities to do some really fun things that I should have done when I was young.

I try to spend most of my life happy. I do go through long periods of stress though. I must say when I have a 40+ hour a week job, I tend to spend most of my life hoping for the weekends. These days time is flying by so quickly and I'm so busy that I rarely even think about if it's the weekend or a weekday, so that's not my focus right now.

I am stressed alot of time. I tend not to worry unless I have to. I try to take life as it comes at me. But some days ...oh my God..between my teenager, my special needs child and my husband in a bad mood...well its just hard not to be.
