Attempting to stay on even keel

To keep my emotions on even keel, I am staying away from situations which will upset me.  At this point, I want my life to be as drama-free as possible, so that I can make it through a daily schedule.  When I am at the dojang, I focus only on hapkido.  Martial arts is a time for me to put responsibilities and concerns aside for one hour.  I spend time with my God in reading and prayer.  Through spiritual endeavors, I have energy to cope with issues that arise.  And I feel happiness.  I felt joy to share a laugh with my mother and dad when my father propelled the wheelchair over the wastebasket, to talk with my husband and daughters, to come home and find the beautiful tulip arrangement from my son on the kitchen table, to watch my mother walk for the first time in four weeks, to see and feel the warmth of the sun.  I can only look ahead about one day.  I must contend with preparing my Dad's home for my mother's return from the nursing home, Easter, our anniversary in April, my high school daughter's graduation and party in June, my daughter's wedding in August, and trying to make a decision about camping this summer.
