Deja Vu – Not handling the stress too well
It’s not the burden that weighs you down, it’s the way you carry it – so the saying goes – grace under pressure – that old chestnut – today when the Entergy guy got there and got out of his truck and said he’d be back the next day I almost blew a gasket. I called Entergy and turns out the person who took my order for a gas and electric meter routed my request to the wrong department. Say what? Let’s see – hmm – “Put Meter On House” – what department did it go to?
Last night I went to see Deja Vu – I must admit, I love action movies, but also they are quite cathartic – yet – and I stress the yet – the catharsis doesn’t last until the next day when you are in that stressful moment – it’s like I could be hooked up to action film central right now in my life and maybe, just maybe, I could keep my blood pressure down.
You know what I could say though? – this may feel like deja vu – but it’s not – what did TL call it – vu jade – I haven’t been here before and nothing is familiar. Take last night, instead of me coordinating the social energy A to Z – I simply suggested seeing a movie and suddenly someone was cooking me a tasty dinner – now that my friend is a fine (albeit different) deal, in my world. No deja vu there.
I was reading today about how people cope with difficult situations and one woman wrote that laughing helps her. I’m lucky to have people in my life who make me laugh out loud and smile frequently. Lucky indeed.
