De-Stressor

Stress! Ugh! It can come in so many forms and people, but, I wrote to talk about another person--the de-stressor in my life.

Now, "de-stressor" is not considered to be a word, but it doesn't take much education to know what it would mean, if it were. A de-stressor is so important to have, and it can come in just as many forms as a stressor. It can come in the form of prayer, meditation, wine--sparingly, you name it--if it works for you, then it's good. Right now, my main de-stressor is my very good friend, Tracy. I don't even have to talk to Tracy to de-stress. Just thinking about him causes me to relax because it's the way he strives to live his life. He doesn't try to boss people around or cause a lot of drama, and if he has a reason to feel angry, he handles it with care, instead of chaos. All Tracy wants to do is be. There may be stressful things happening in his life, but his main purpose is to be--to be loving, kind, spiritual, to be better. He's not perfect, but he is a great human being, and I thank God for placing him in my life. This is an ode to you, Tracy. Thank you for being my anchor of peace in the midst of this storm. I have often thought of you and wanted to just take what you've given me--a sense of stability, letting me know that I am okay the way I am--put it in a bottle and unleash it into whatever situation calls for it. For these things, and so much more, I thank you.

Love,
Yvette
