Some Days You Just Gotta Dance

When the kids are out of control and you want to hide in the closet with the jar of Nutella and a spoon.

Or your boss is on his 52nd tirade of the day.

And stressed out has become your permanent status on facebook.

When regular exercise or a trip to the gym just does not appeal to your senses...

You have an alternative.

It's time to DANCE!

THAT'S RIGHT! 

Go ahead, release those endorphins!

Burn those calories!

And LAUGH.

Laugh A LOT!

You'll feel better.

I promise.

ps...for those of us who are conscious of the health benefits associated with a healthy diet and regular exercise, 30 minutes of dancing (general) burns 233 calories. 

pss...for assistance tracking my caloric intake and exercise, along with managing my goals, i use http://myfitnesspal.com, which also has a smart phone app as well.

Ship high in transit...

Have you ever been so stressed you thought your head was going to explode and vomit erupt like lava from your neck?

Me too!

That is where i am at right now. I know that seems like a graphic description, but it is as close as i can come to giving you a visual picture of the ride i am on.

I will graduate from college on January 8, 2012.

I have finals tomorrow. After completing this round of finals, i will begin my last pair of regular classes. From what i understand, they are extremely difficult.

From there i have externship and clinical review. These two classes are pass or fail. There is no in between or second chance.

I also have a husband and three sons, one of which has autism spectrum disorder.

AND i live with debilitating chronic pain.

Most of the time it is easy ( or easier) for me to Choose Joy, like my friend Sara encouraged me so often.

Although, for the past two days, Ship High In Transit is what has been coming to my mind most often.

So, my questions for you are:

What is stressing you out?
Would you pray for my mental health this next ten weeks?
