It's Time To Go Shopping!

Every once and a while I have a chance to go over to a portion of the Saint John River, known as the Famous Reversing Falls Rapids. I love to go there because if you close your eyes and just listen to the various sounds that make up the surroundings, you will soon learn that the most powerful sound in the air is the clashing and tumbling of the waters below. As you watch you can notice the power that the rushing of waters have as to apposing currants clash causing a swamping of anything that might be floating by unaware. Sometimes one can feel as if you are being sucked in by the tides of life, tossed and battered wondering where your life will end up. It can be a helpless and frustrating feeling when you are being tossed about from every side by forces that not only do not know or understand who you are or the journey you have been on. Is this where you are today or maybe you know someone who is facing those same feelings of being overwhelmed from the negative stresses around them. One of the best ways to handle stress is to move yourself away from those stresses that are wanting to have first place in your thoughts and everyday coming and goings. One of the best stress relievers that one can do and enjoy is to head out and have a good shop in a near by mall where you can get lost in the crowd and allow your mind to focus for a time on something fresh and new. Just remember that those in the malls and those living their life around you are also living through their own stresses or maybe another storm for them is coming. You will never have a life where there won't be some kind of stress issue to deal with, however, stress does not ever have the right to hold its mastery over you. When you learn the art of looking beyond your storm, it makes the journey that much more barable and easier to rise above.
