I am grateful for stress. Wait, I guess I should put that in the form of a question. Am I grateful for stress, or can I be grateful for stress?

Stress helps me to get things done. I can't help but be involved. In high school I was in student government positions all three years, on my mission my motto was "Kill every day by working it to death." In college, I am heavy into directing a short film with my peers. In church, I am the Young Men's President (for the record, I didn't volunteer for that one.) with youth conference on the way. On the side, I'm working on storyboards for a national spot for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If that wasn't enough, a few weeks ago I practically begged a publication house if I could have another illustration assignment.

If an idle mind is the devil's playground he won't have much fun here. I can find gratitude in that, I guess.
