I'm in the middle of a tropical storm, the weather is getting really nasty, I think we are going to lose power soon. This is very strange , we are use to hurricanes and storms but never in December. This will last until tomorrow. I'm getting anxious, don't like the feeling.

What do you normally do to keep calm? How can we help you?

I hate storms too. We just got through a snowstorm, then flooding and winds where I'm at. Try to stay busy to keep anxiety away. And keep your candles and flashlights handy!

I know your going to think this is crazy, but on one of my trys to outrun life, I was living in Panama City Beach, I was very manic and trying to wind down at home alone, when suddenly it started thundering, lightening and pouring down rain!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.
