Post Divorce Stress

I had a yearly check up with my Doctor yesterday. As is typical, the conversation got around to how are things post divorce? The nurse politely asked this as she was taking my blood pressure. Expounding away on this 'n that of the divorce, when the monitor beeped and she read the numbers and gasped. "Wow, that's really high for you", she exclaimed. Then realizing I'd been talking about my divorce she asked me to breathe deeply and we'd try again. Sure enough the numbers were right on track. Ahh, the effects of stress. Isn't it amazing that one short conversation had my blood pressure up? The moral of this story is, stay positive, and breathe deeply. That's not to say we don't need to express our anger. But after we express, it's good to just let go of it. Happy Weekend!
