When I am terribly frustrated by something that is happening in my life, I always reminded of a stress workshop that I once took. I don't know where the saying came from, but the instructor in some long tirade said: "In the cosmic scheme of things, how important is this?" I can't remember a lot of what I heard in the class, but this one sentence has sustained me through so many trials over the years.
Let's use this thread to post our best coping devices for dealing with frustrations and the stress of life......and I suppose parenting has as many stresses as any area.
