Lori: Recognizing stress triggers is probably the first step to beating back stress. Happy trials to yoy!
Lori it sound like you have some great ways to reduce the stress load. I think where most people fail is not implementing the strategies of stress relief such as the ones you outlined.
Great commments- thanks so much- age has helped me understand it all passes and time pretty much heals it all.

You are so right- I guess I have been trained to save the best until last.
