Good Stress

I just realized that good things can also generate stress. I found out within the same week that both my wife and I were approved for a loan for a new home and we were going to have a baby. I also started grad school at the same time. Needless to say, but ill say it anyway, that this was an overwhelming period in my life. I was puzzled to find out that I begin exhibiting signs of stress: being lethargic, losing interest in hobbies, trouble focusing...Most my life I have been plagued with dealing/coping with the stress from bad news, so it took several months for me to see the correlation between my "blessed" period and the stress that it was generating. There is a freedom to recognizing and validating any circumstance and/or situation, and for me I had to make some choices that allowed me to move forward within a healthy means. i have since postponed grad school till after the baby's birth. This has allowed me to focus on being a new dad, as well as work on my home. All in all this is a great period in my life. I have had to utilize all of my experiences and life lessons to navigate through some tough moments, but I am confident that I can move in a matter that will be beneficial for me and my family.
