“How Do You Spell Relief?” Life on the Kitsap Peninsula WA
July 28th, 2008 by Rich JacobsonI don’t know about you, but have you noticed that life in general has become increasingly stressful lately?
Now granted, my chosen profession in real estate isn’t helping matters any. The cyclical nature of our business is currently in the toilet bowl end of the cycle, so things are somewhat daunting, to say the least.
But there are other issues and concerns as well. The whole political upheaval and uncertainties associated with the pending presidential election; the rising cost of gas and its affect on our economy; the challenges with raising teenage boys, etc..
So the question is, how do you deal with the stress and hectic pace of life? Where do you find your oasis of solace and refreshment?
Well, for me, I spell relief C-R-A-B ….more specifically, by going out crabbing on my boat. There’s just something about being out on the waters of Hood Canal that instantly calms and refreshes my spirit and mind. It must be something innate or primordial within me. Or maybe it’s my Scandanavian roots. Who knows!
Whatever it is, it’s definitely something that works for me. I can be totally stressed out, nerves on edge, and feeling grumpy, but get me out on or near the water, and all the weight just falls away, almost immediately.
So what’s YOUR stress-buster? How do YOU spell relief?
