Then I got to thinking, why should I be jealous of this seemingly homeless man? I have so many blessings to be thankful for! What if being blessed causes stress? Could that be possible? I've thought about this a lot and think its true in many cases:
Blessing: Challenging career with one of the top 4 Big Accounting firms in the US.
Stress: Pressure from work to work long hours, manage staff, communicate to execs, stay organized and on top of multiple jobs and in touch with multiple clients. Nightmares about not meeting deadlines or something going wrong.
Stress: Am I doing everything right? Is she learning everything she needs to know? Should I put her in gymnastic or dance classes? Is she in the right daycare? Who is going to pick her up/drop her off today? Is she going to wean or potty train soon? Did I pay the daycare? etc....
Blessing:
Stress: Is he truly as happy as he seems? What does he expect from me? What time is he going to get off work? What would he like for dinner? Is he ever going to fix that? Does he think I work too much? Does he know how much I love him? What could I do to make his day better?
Blessing: Nice/newish car to drive
Stress: Why is gas so expensive? Did Raegan spill milk in here again?
Blessing: Lots of family who love us dearly.
Stress: Traveling to Texas can get expensive. I hate packing. Why does Raegan ask me where "gigi" is 300 times a day?
