“Stress becomes overwhelming when you immediately say “I can’t” when a task is unfamiliar or time-consuming. To keep myself sane I make a list with two columns – things I can control and things I can’t.

Make a great dinner for the family, call a friend just to say hi, put money in someone else’s parking meter.
