De~stress!!

So one of the reasons I run is to de~stress, and at this time of year I can understand why many people are in more need of physical activity!!
 I had one of my son's Christmas presents stolen today from my front door…a delivery from Amazon via UPS. It took me a while to comprehend this news…I just couldn't see how or why someone would do this.
 Luckily I had a client that I am training, and after our run in the rain things were put into perspective; Amazon is going to replace my item: its only a material object ,right:no one is hurt: all is good!
 Im not sure I would have felt this way so quickly if it wasn't for all the endorphins buzzing! For me, running has a way of calming me, for seeing the simpler, perhaps more important ways of life.
 I'm interested in hearing different ways people cope with stress…what do YOU do to blow off steam?
 Of course, it sure helped having 55 degree weather here in Trumbull!! I hope some of you were able to take advantage of the temps! Happy Christmas Eve Eve!!
