Snippets : - We often use the words “I’m stressed” casually in our everyday conversations, with little acknowledgment of the adverse effects of stress in our lives. - Not all stress is bad, of course. Stress can also be invigorating or  lead us to care  about the welfare of others, if channeled in the right way. - To some extent, we can reduce stress by simply taking good care of ourselves through getting proper sleep, exercise, and nutrition. - If we all focused more on listening and understanding each other, the world would be a lot less stressful—and a lot happier—place to live.

How I wish I could remove some lemon juice from water to make it taste perfect again! But alas! Some things can never be undone. Some things can never be changed. There was no way that I know of, to remove the extra lime. So what was the solution then?
