I hate that I have no control over the way my body handles stress. I always prided myself at being the calm one in stressful situations. I may have THOUGHT I would freak out when talking about how I might handle stressful situations but when actually being thrown into them, I always surprised myself at being calm and collected and facing them head ( Read more... )

My new life has given me A: Friends B: Better health C: activities I scoffed at before.... one of them being walking.
