You will make it girl.. I know you will. You have a lot of determination.

Hi OneBallBoi,

You are always kind and gentle. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Whew I'm feeling like you and I are in a mirror (over) researching stuff on the web!

I'm sorry your feeling so much stress. If I can suggest one thing work on THAT first and the rest should be a breeze!

I'm saying a prayer this all resolves itself quickly.

Knowledge is empowering.

Incomplete knowledge can cause anxiety and stress.

Transindential Meditation can help re-establish mind over body control.

There exist medically proven mental exercises that can help control such physical things as blood pressure.

Not that mental exercises can regulate all body processes.

But the mind can have a negative impact upon the body.

Meditation can help minimize the mind's negative impact on the body.

Such activity just takes time, practice, and is chemical free.

With as much running around and visits to Botanical Gardens and such, not only do you put me to shame, but you are getting a lot of walking in, at least. I walk up the dang stairs and I can get winded. So don't worry about the exercise, I suspect.

BTW, got your email. Sounds like things are finally working right ! Good timing too !

Been busy as can be - haven't been responding to many emails lately, except clients (17 since Friday). Tired but flush.

You keep on doing what you are doing, you'll be just fine. You go girl!

Hi Kristoff,

It's always good to hear from you.

I know how busy you are and I was not expecting a reply to the email.

I'm calm this morning and ready, I think, to hear anything.

Yes, a number of things are finall

y working right. What a relief!

Thanks for being there and the encouraging words.

Hugs,

Danya

Hi MrT,

I thought you might relate to

all this research stuff on the web. I agree, I need to work on bringing do

wn my stress level right away.

I appreciate the prayer.

Hi nullorchis,

I totally agree knowledge is empowering, but only as long as we know what to do with it, how to interpret it and so on. In certain subjects, I'm reasonably capable of doing this. In others, like medicine, I may get the general drift of things but by reading I cannot hope

to match the experience and knowledge of a good physician. Still, it's good to know some things and I never blindly accept whatever a doctor tells me.

Transindential Meditation can he

lp re-establish mind over body control.

There exist medically proven mental exercises that can help control such physical things as blood pressure.

I currently use mental exercises and relaxation techniques that do lower my pulse rate, get rid of migraines and so on. I learned these in a lab years ago, where a technician monitored things l

ike blood pressure, skin temperatures, pulse rate while I went through the exercises. The instruments showed that these mental exercises were working.

Not that mental exercises can regulate all body processes.

But the mind can have a negative impact

upon the body.

Meditation can help minimize the mind's negative impact on the body.

Such activity just takes time, practice, and is chemical free.

I totally agree that the mind can have a negative impact on the body. I, too, do some medita

tion, although I could use more prac

tice on that.

I'd love to see you in that dress....and I'm so glad you're feeling better....

Danya, the dress seems like a VERY good idea to me. I know it would certainly make me feel a lot better, too.

You'll be fine, as soon as you stop focusing on that huge invisible pink elephant in the room with you. She never makes a sound, nobody else ever sees her, and the only person worried about her is you.

We all love you, we care deeply, and we know you'll be fine.

First, a quick note to Caith721: It was only when I multi-quoted two responses that I noticed your title, "You can stop stressing, now." I love it!

Hi Dragonfly,

This dress is still one of m

y favorites and I got two compliments at the office today, both from women. Thanks for writing.

Hugs,

Danya

Danya, the dress seems like a VERY good idea to me. I know it would certainly make me feel a lot better, too.

The dress did help. It brought back very good memories of my first day at work as me. That was on May 1

9, 2008. Among a number of very good things on that day were the roses left on my desk by all the men in my group.

You've written some very wise words here. You're also entirely correct. While I was able to stay calm all d

ay, I had a little trouble concentrating on my work. I was waiting fo

r the cardiologist's call. More on that below.

We all love you, we care deeply, and we know you'll be fine.

What a lovely message! You affirm who I am with such kind words.

You and the many others here who have offered words of support and encouragement have given me far more than you may realize. A sense of belonging and knowing there are peop

This morning, my cardiologist's office called to let me know that my stress echocardiogram results are entirely normal. I was elated.

My passport will arrive in the mail tomorrow, so that's all set, too.

Tomorrow, I'll send the final GRS payment to Montreal.

Work continues to go well. I may

not know if my contract will be extended

until the very last moment. If it is not, things will still work as I budgeted for this possibility.

Many thanks to everyone for your caring and encouraging responses. You are terrific!

I'm going out to spend a relatively inexpensive night on the town, to celebrate.
