I think anything we can do to lessen our stress, is a good thing. I know when I'm in the middle of doing a lot (work, church, family) my tingly hand has a few fingers that just start throbbing and become numb. As I relax, sit in the hot tub, have a Calgon moment, it goes away.

I appreciate the fact that ADs have helped me find balance and perspective in my life! If I'm tired, it is okay to go home from work, put on jammies, and lay in bed and watch TV, at 6:00!! At least I put in a full day's work!

So my house is cluttery. Maybe I should dust - more than once a month Maybe I should eat better and lose some weight. Maybe my hair is a mess, needs to be colored and cut. I really don't care anymore.

But those lovely Type A traits are still lurking in me, and they do pop out once in a while!
