After years of tring to put my finger on it......i think ive finally figured something out......why i have so much stress in my life.......its because im surrounded by drama.......from work to home and family matters......it all has to do with all the drama that each brings to the table......im always the one who will look back on things......compair how it use to be....as apposed to how it is now......and im sure that stress has had a big part in it.....but in the end.....its the never ending drama that seems to be out of my control.....its just like a soap opera on tv.....once a story line plays itself out...a new one begins......my daughter and her boyfriend.....shes spoiled....and hes a baby......if one would use them as an example as to how relationships are suppose to work.....im sure people would go their own ways and never date again........at work......everybody is so concerned about tring to keep their jobs.....that the ass-kiss mode is in full swing......it use to be something to be made fun of.....now...it seems to be part of the job requirement.....and i wont be apart of that game plan......even the simple act of going out to eat.....and even if i go alone.....which i find myself doing lately.....if i take the kids with me.....i take the drama out as well.....ive never gone anywhere that some drama is going on between somebody over something.....in fact......about the only place i can go to now days...and get far away from it....is fishing.......sure...theres a few times when i go....that i dont catch anything......and some would call that drama......but ive never gone just to catch something.....sure...its in the game plan......thats why they call it fishing......but the real reason i go......is to get away from everybody and everything....and just be alone with my thoughts...be all by myself......i even do my best talks with god during this time......some say that god is everywhere......and im sure that he is.....but if you really want to find god out there......dont bother looking for him in some church somewhere.......im sure his best place to be is out in nature.....looking over what he created......and like me....tring to find some answers to what seems to be an out of your control life.......maybe thats part of the problem.....worring about what cant be changed.....they say that control is just an idea.....that nothing can be controled......you just deal with it and go on......but before my life comes to an end one day.....im going to find some peace and some much need relaxation that ive been looking for my whole life......to run this rat race from start to finish without ever knowing this would be a crime i dont deserve to pay........cookie

Ahh Cookie,
Usually the best people in the world are full of stress.. ya know why?
Cos they care enough to stress about it.
Youre a good dad, albeit you're a spoiler! 
I guess the trick is to care enough without getting too stressed over it.. how?
Dont ask me.. Im too busy being stressed out myself!

I live as much stress free life as anyone could ever live.
I own my own company, I have great kids, a wonderful g/f, totally awesome real friends, the greatest sister anyone could ask for and I learn twenty years ago to get rid of all the users/neg people out of my life.
Since that day, life became so much less stressful.
I am sorry to hear that your life is so stressful.
Your so right, the best place to talk to God is outdoors.

Peace, happiness, joy, love, solitude, they all reside within....
Focus on them, think on them, meditate on them, nurture them.....
and the stress will disappear.....!

Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and posting this. It could have been written about me nearly word for word right now and reading it sure helped..... Yep, I am soooo tired of drama! And it seems to be following me around everywhere.
Lately I have been trying out the method Ed suggested in his comment, eliminate as many of the negative, dramatic people as possible. It isn't possible to eliminate them all, but even getting a few out helps, though the process of eliminating them may not be pretty and can, initially, raise the stress level a bit before it lowers it.
Although I attend church whenever possible, I have to totally agree that I feel His presence MUCH more in nature than in church. My favorite way of fishing is to get settled in on the bank, bait my hook, toss it out, kick back, and hope like heck that nothing bites it to disturb my peaceful moment with nature, lol.
Great blog! I pray your drama greatly subsides soon and calm settles in.

seems to me if you want to be away from drama you need to remove it .... drama attracts drama.... so stop being so dramatic and maybe you wont have so much drama

Come on down to north Florida, and we'll go limb lining. We'll hang baited lines on the limbs over the water, and let the bushes fight the fish while we sit around the fire, spin tales, and read the future in the glowing embers.
The biggest drama is when a big gator glides by in the black water, or when we pick off the big fish to fry the next morning. The Apalachicola river basin IS a drama free zone.
