What does the Lynx say?

Forgive me for posting other's videos, but it's a great way to share them with hubby, who reads my blog every day!

Also, I managed to stack some wood yesterday, but I haven't been out and about too much.  Today is laundry day.
The arthritis kicked in in my shoulders last night, and I've had a bit of stress with caregiving for hubby.
I make myself a To Do List, and simply choose to do what I think I can face, or what I can manage.

Caregiver stress is a terrible thing. I wrote much about it in my book, where I wrote about my caregiver journey.

Stress, as we know, creates that fight or flight response. Cortisol and nor-epinephrine are added to the body- stress causing hormones. When this happens, you no longer are able to create those stress-relieving hormones (seratonins, dopamine). You're too busy creating adrenalin, to fight your battles. I find myself having to consciously let my shoulders relax, and to just breathe deeply.
Watching the Olympics has been relaxing. For a time, there is a good excuse to simply sit still!
