I got this from my friend Wendy. With love, and Carpe Diem Michel Margosis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELIEF of STRESS Picture yourself near a stream. Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool mountain air. Nothing can bother you here. No one knows this secret place. You are in total seclusion from that place called "the world." The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity. The water is clear. You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding under the water. Look. It's the person who caused you all this stress in the first place. What a pleasant surprise. You let them up... just for a quick breath...then ploop!... back under they go...

The unmistakable aroma of potpourri follows you even after you leave the bathroom. 5. You discover that every napkin in the entire house has been folded into a swan. 4. No matter "where" you eat, your place setting always includes an oyster fork. 3. Twice this week you've been the victim of a drive-by doilying. 2. You wake up in the hospital with a concussion and endive stuffing in every orifice. And the Number 1 sign you're being stalked by Martha Stewart . . . 1. You awaken one morning with a glue gun pointed squarely at your temple!
