I'm Blossoming

My inbox has surprised me the last couple of mornings. Yesterday was the one about calories (weight has been on my mind lately), today there was the email that started:
Dear Jennifer,
Feeling overwhelmed with too much to do and too little time?

Uh, YEAH! Of course. What in the world is going on? Who is watching? Work is crazy right now and that's just because we've only been back Christmas break for a few weeks. This week in particular has been so tiring. Forms to fill out, paperwork to turn in, people to call, 25 little ones to convince that benchmarking is important, and lots and lots of questions to answer. Seriously is it only Wednesday? Hurry Friday! Hurry!

Anyway, the email got better when it said this: I'm not saying that stress is always a good thing. I am saying, from first-hand experience, that's it's not always a bad thing either. We need the right amount of tension to keep us "blossoming."

No doubt about it I'm so "blossoming."
