Here I am awake in the wee hours of the morning. It is quiet with no phone calls and the rest of the world is asleep. There is calmness. The calm before the storm.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life there can be lots of stress. I can forget to laugh and to see the humor in life. I can allow a negative attitude to color how I preceive life and to color my day a drab gray.

How serious is this? Is the world going to collapse just because I have to wait at a red light? Or am I going to turn into stone waiting behind the woman at the checkout counter who has twenty coupons so she can get 20 cents off of her milk? Is there some kind of conspiracy going on that the store manager the minute I walk into the store starts calling friends to come and shop so that the store will be full and I have to wait in a checkout line.

The other day a driver was honking at me. I was only driving five miles over the speed limit. I guess he/she must have gotten a new horn in their car and they were trying it out. I pulled into the turn lane and all I saw was a blur passing straight ahead. Must have been superman/superwoman driving somewhere to save the day. Why else would someone be in such a hurry?

Well I am off to find my cape. Today is a "Superwoman" day. Perhaps with a little bit of humor I can save my day and those around me. As I ask myself when I start to get stressed out "How Serious Is This?"
