Eustress

Stress that makes you better.

Good find. I've never thought of the idea before, but now I've looked it up I can see how it works.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

The only time I had Valium prescribed for me, I got off work early and went to the doctor about 4:00. He asked what had been going on. At 24, in the last six months, I had graduated from seminary, go married, travelled from KY to CA, assumed my first pastorate, found ourselves pregnant, took my first 40 hr a week job as a social worker. All good things. But adding them all up...? Eustress! I took one Valium, didn't like how it messed with my brain, and have avoided such ever since.

I wonder if this is one of those things where one says, "Someday friend we will look back at this and laugh."
