Yes, less stressful.

I'm learning. To avoid stress. In little ways. In big ways. By saying 'no.' Living life in a more casual and deliberate manner. No reason to be fazed. By the antics of others.  Bad stuff happens. So be it. After all, it's usually beyond my control. Another thing. I can't change people. Other than myself. Therefore, better to focus. On me. Over what I can control. I'm mastering the craft/art of acceptance. And it feels good. Yes, less stressful. --Jim Broede
