And of course it's one thing when you have issues, but when your kid has stress, thats 10x as hard. Hang in there. Kathy, I'm definitely going to try it yoga. The treadmill is just soooo boring.

It is supposed to be very mentally clearing. So when the weather turns too cold for biking maybe yoga would be a great replacement?

As you know, we moved 2 months ago, I changed careers, our daughter is in daycare (and having all sorts of issues) vs being at home with a nanny, we;re living 5 minutes from my parents and 15 minutes from my husband's. I worry about winter starting in May - I used to say in can bring on SAD just by thinking about winter nights. Don't have any magic suggestions, just wanted to say I totally know what you're going through. The one thing that my friend always reminds me about is to do something everyday that I really enjoy. Sometimes, for me, it's grabbing a piece of dark chocolate as I run somewhere, but I try to stick to that! Sheryl - I’m so with you!

Maybe we can be mutual support for each other. Meri, you're so right, just like a tool box. I need to rummage around and see what I've got in there. Olga, you can stalk me anytime.

We moved for my husband's work after starting my first business. We are now possibly facing another move in the near future. It is stressful! I also suffer from S.A.D. during the winter months (mostly rainy days though). I think of stress management like a tool box. There are many things in there that work for me such as walking, journaling, taking a bubble bath, or a quick cup of tea. When I get overly stressed I just go to my mental tool box and grab one that sounds good at that moment. Sometimes I forget and boy do things get overwhelming when that happens. :) I love the image of Daffy Duck with his quarter staff. :) I can relate to this post from the job change and moving standpoint.

This is a season of change and it takes awhile for your head to get wrapped around it but you will get to that point! I know how you feel cause we started a business and my homeschooled kids are going to goverment school this year too and I feel overwhelmed! I know God is bigger than all my concerns so I'm just tryin to believe that ALL things DO work together for good.
