Stress

You think you know stress until something really and truly stressful comes along. Talking to my sister earlier today made me realize that and made me think about everything that has been going on this past week. She said something to me today... "I'm having an out of body experience right now, I don't think I truly know what kind of stress I'm under at the moment." I had to stop and think about this for a minute. She's right.  Being removed from the situation on a day to day basis is helpful, although I feel guilty at times knowing I'm not there everyday. My sister and dad, on the other hand, are there every single day dealing with whatever comes. I guess I really didn't internalize it before now...even though its only been a week. Regardless of the situation, I can only do so much and I think one of the most important things I can do (other than the obvious) is to make sure that my dad and sister keep a sane and calm mind. She asked me today if I could help her with getting a massage...with no hesitation I said "Absolutely".  Everyone deserves a little relaxation from time to time and she's a prime candidate.
