Enjoy Stress



Some time ago I saw a book review in the Washington Post that caught my eye. The title of the book was Enjoy Stress and somewhere in the subtitle or the first few sentences of the Intro was this quote from the author, “The opposite of being stressed is being dead.” Kind of a crass way of stating a point, but, yeah, I can sort of see it.

That quote reminded me of a time in my life when I rarely felt stress. My days unfolded like the movie Groundhog Day. Same thing. Different Day. No new experiences. No new challenges.
