I think most of us are in your situation—glad for the good stress but stressed by the bad stress. :-)

The "bad" stress is something that I've yet to be able to deal with effectively...

Good point. Terry,

And, very timely for me. I was having this conversation with a colleague two days ago... on how to separate and deal with good/bad forms of stress. I believe good stress is anything we bring on ourselves in the pursuit of providing excellent service to others. Striving to be better than we are can be stressful! That kind of stress will eventually shape and hone us into better human beings. Bad stress is a fact of life. How we choose to respond or react will determine its effect on us long term. It's difficult to maintain a positive attitude during times of bad stress but we must make the effort or risk falling into an abyss that can have severe consequences on every facet of our lives. Again, excellent article. Thanks for writing about this subject. Terry Snyder <a href="http://www.DarnGoodMarketing.com">Darn Good Marketing</a> Excellent article, Lillie!

That is one of the greatest things about blogging—the conversations that develop can magnify the benefit of whatever is said in the original post. I have even written follow-up posts based on the comments on a particular topic, and I often gain new insights from what a reader says. Donna,
