IJMC - Life's Interesting Quirks

Today I spent some time learning about who I am. What makes me tick and 
what may set me off. Then I came home and found this in my queue of 
submissions. How timely. Anyway, a brief piece of advice. Find your 
friends. Stick with them. Those close to you will be worth more than you 
will ever know, unless you lose them. I'm glad I found that out without 
losing them.                                                       -dave





Feeling Stressed Out? 

Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool mountain air. 

Nothing can bother you here. 

No one knows this secret place. 

The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of
serenity. 

The water is clear and you can easily make out the face of the person whose
head you're holding under the water. 

It's the person who caused you all this stress. 

What a pleasant surprise. 

You let them up... just for a quick breath... then ploop!...back under they
go... 

You allow yourself as many deep breaths as you want. 

      There now... feeling better?
