Stressed for no reason

So ever since I got back from Ft. Worth I have been stressing about all the things I "have" to get done by some random deadline made up in my head. I am most frustrated at myself because I do not have to be stressed. I felt like all I have been saying is "Lord, calm me down", but I think He is waiting for me to realize I don't have to be running like a chicken with my head cut off. 

I am so thankful for my friend Koni out here, because whenever I am feeling crazy, I can just go over to her house, and it is so relaxing and peaceful. I hope that people feel that way when they are at my house, because sometimes I don't even feel that way. We laid out by the pool which really got my mind off of all the dumb to-do's I had. I was able to get most things done yesterday and today, but I still have a few things to take care of for my job that starts in July.

For those of you who don't know, I am going to be working at a summer camp and school that teaches music lessons to kids age 2-grade 8! I will be teaching general music and flute lessons. I am so blessed that God dropped this job in my lap. I emailed this place when I first moved out here a year ago, but they were filled, and then I decided to try again for the summer, and they were like, "oh, our flute teacher and camp leader just cancelled for the summer this morning...perfect timing!" Sooooo cool...I know! She also called me yesterday and asked if I wanted all the flute students at the store during the year because the flute teacher is moving...also very cool. All last year when I was looking and desiring to have a job on top of school, it never worked out, but now, jobs are just falling from the sky! Even though I have one year of school left, it will be much less time because I am not playing in band anymore and only have one class (theory...booo)....

So, Does anyone have a good way to make themselves relax? I fell like I try everything when I get worked up to slow the crap down, but sometimes it doesn't work! Even taking a long moment of silence!

I also feel like I had too much coffe today and am really hyper!!!!!!!

I am so excited that my brother and his girlfriend Beth get here Sunday and we are leaving Tuesday for San Francisco! Which reminds me, I need to get Alcatraz tickets!!!

Peace!

You should move to Brenham! I never feel stressed here!:)

No, but seriously, you should. I go to SL and instantly I'm buzzin' all around, in a frenzy about nothing. And then I come home to Brenham, and life's cool and calm and frenzy-free.

You should think about it. That's my only suggestion. ;)
