An Observation and Confirmation....

of the observation. My mother in law and I discussed the Dali Llama's visit to Seattle on Sunday. About how we must be peaceful on the inside, and that contentedness will project on the outside.

"You know Wendy, you are much more calm now that when you and James got together."

"Really?" (my favorite pause word to gather my thoughts.)

"Really."

"Hmm, that's an interesting observation. Because my stress level has only increased throughout the years."

"Well, that's not good, you're not supposed to be hiding that from me."

"Hmm."

So I asked for a reality check with my sissy la-la and she concurred. Wild, so looking up the antonym of calm I find:

—Antonyms 2. tempestuous. 3. agitated.

Really.
