S T R E S S , 365 - 4

Argh.... I could feel my stress level rising today...

- Even though I have PROMISED myself...

I WILL NOT SWEAT the SMALL STUFF...

ya.. that lasted 4 days.

 I went to get my Norwegian residence permit updated...

where they stamped

UGYLDIG,UGYLDIG,UGYLDIG, (NOT VALID)

all over the old permit..

& then informed me that I would receive a "card" in the mail in a couple weeks..

Shit.. I am to leave the country next week...

Then I found out I need to be in Stockholm a day early..

also found out hubby isn't willing to be flexible on my "agreed" traveling days...

NIIIICE...

I could feel the STRESS building..

as I was racing through town to pickup things for my meeting next week,

pick up something to make dinner

pick up the kids...

I was thinking about which picture I would use for my 365..

maybe my poor passport with the ugly stamps all over my permit..

maybe my already full suitcase, for next weeks trip..

as I rounded the corner, to beat rush hour traffic...

I noticed a beautiful haze over the water..

a location, where I have never pulled over to take a picture..

I decided I could allow myself 5 min. to TRY to capture a beautiful a afternoon

and try to remind myself

NOT TO SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF...

breathe in, breath out... and like I always tell my kids...

break everything down..

just take baby steps..

You (I) can do it.

Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend!
