Gayle, it's hard when it feels like the world is coming down around us. All of these things individually are very sad, collectively, they can seem overwhelming.

Please try to take time to smell the coffee today. There are many positive things in life to enjoy. Think about those things for a while and try to take a mental vacation from all the stress. This may sound corny, but it has worked for me when I thought the load was getting too heavy to bear.

We aren't given more than we can bear, even though it seems like it sometimes. Try to focus on positives for just today and see if it helps.

Wishing you a day of peace.
