It's their choice. It's a lot easier to change ourselves, and that isn't always easy, either! My philosophy is like yours, try to enjoy the differences. <strong>doclind</strong>, I like your description, "Stress is just extreme living...." And I agree, it's on ongoing process to learn to deal with it. Thanks for coming by! bikehikebabe,

If we could only live that way (and everyone else could, too). It is just the way it's supposed to happen. Stress is just extreme living; and how to cope with it takes a lifetime to do.

We've been married 51 yrs. & I will never change him (to be more like me). So with an accepting attitude, we're both happier. We have different viewpoints & I want to be the RIGHT one! :( Turns out he's right 95 % of the time. :) [Actually I love him more for being so smart.

In order to keep my cool I'm trying something new today. I'm not ME. I'm my guardian looking out for me. (outside of myself) I'll see that I'm rational & not getting emotional. Also that my posture is good & I'm getting things done. My scientist husband & I have different brains & “ne’er the ‘twain shall meet”. In order to keep my cool I’m trying something new today.
