There's a calm in my mind in the morning. A peacefulness that feels nice. A two mile walk and prayer, then watering the garden is relaxing. I don't know if we all feel this way, but throughout the day our minds are filled with interaction, most of it unimportant to our natural well being. In the last few years I've tried to be a calmer person in my mind, and found it much easier with my love for Jesus Christ. Rolling with God's grace. Happy day my friends. Blessings. Ron Baratono
About This Quote

This is an excerpt from the book "The Calm" by Whitney Cummings. "Life is stressful. So you're probably wondering if there's a way to bring sanity back into your life." There is no doubt that life can be stressful. Yet, it's important that we remember that the more stress we bring upon ourselves, the more stress we will have to deal with.

How can we keep our minds clear of stress? If I could go back in time and change something about my life, I would not change anything about my family. As a teen, I had many issues with my family. The divorce was one of them.

Family members were always fighting with each other and it was so unappealing to watch. My own parents went through a lot of tough times at that time, but their love for each other never wavered. This made me realize how important family is to succeed in life. I am glad that I am now an adult because my family has grown stronger over the years.

We are closer now than ever before and this has helped me become a better person as well as a good example for my children. When people ask me about my family today, I try to share my positive experiences with them so they don't make the same mistakes as I did when they were teens. This helps them understand how important it is to have strong family ties even though they may not resemble mine. As you can see from my quote, life can be stressful but there are ways to keep our minds calm through wise choices and positive thinking.

The more stress we bring upon ourselves, the more stress will have to face us later down the road!
