Oh do I! For me, when my life's out of sync, my body rebels. I get migraines, typically (when things are really off-balance), or else I get little aches and pains I wouldn't normally have. Louise Hay writes beautifully about this in her book "You Can Heal Your Life." She believes every thought/belief pattern we have expresses itself in physical form (dis-ease). Interesting stuff...

Anyway, you reminded me that I haven't seen an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies in more than 20 years! Loved your post - thanks for writing it.

Well I too get the wake-up call, maybe it's 3am or the spinning mind all night long instead, drilling on the issue of the moment or whirling through any and every random perceived mis-step I've taken in my current mixed up life. That's how it is in the dark when you can't sleep. Those issues grow and take on a life of their own like the scary monsters of our childhoods. Better to get up and watch t.v. than toss and turn in bed. Sometimes it helps to sit up and write it all down. Other times the stress presents in the form of a migraine, but truthfully the migraine usually comes after I've figured out how to deal with the issue and the relief of stress brings on the throbbing head. Go Figure! Wishing you peace . . .
