One of the big steps in the 7 Habits is to "sharpen the saw." The story goes that a lumber jack is sawing away at a big tree and he's making very little progress, but still he keeps trying. Another lumber jack comes across him and asks what he's doing. The first lumber jack says that he's trying to cut down the tree, but it's been slow going. The second lumber jack suggests that the first sharpen his saw, it may speed up the process. The first lumber jack says he doesn't have time to stop and sharpen the saw. So, if we never take time to sharpen our own saws, life (or the big tree) will take a long time to happen. It's always been an analogy that has stayed with me and I think it's extremely important to take time out for yourself. This reminds me of the Franklin Covey 7 Habits seminar I took last year.

I've been eating are a result of the stress in my life? THANK YOU for the insight (teasing)! It's funny how people who are stressed don't have the ability to recognize it in themselves...Your MIL is lucky/blessed to have you watching out for her health!
