Happy 4th and Happy Summer!
Hope you had a fun day off celebrating the 4th of July! My husband and I spent a quiet day being around the house, but managed to get over to our local park for a concert and a fabulous fireworks display.

Stressed at Work?
Article: Stressed at work? Are you longing for more peace and serenity? The workplace is a place where employed people spend a major part of their day. Over the last few years, with the many lay offs in almost every industry, many employees have found themselves working longer hours and doing the work of at least 2 or 3 other people.
