If life is about "not waiting for the storms to pass,it's about learning how to dance in the rain" then why am I the only one who is always all wet. I don't know and I have reached the point where I just don't care. I have spent a lifetime trying to figure out how to deal with stress and it's pitfalls, yes I have read all the selfhelp books, been to all the seminars and done all the meditation I'm ever going to do.
