Oh my gosh this was so good, Stephanie, and very engaging from start to finish. I liked how you delivered the tension - the stressors - moving steadily over 3/4 of the article and then you threw in the antidote...a proven, good practice for better mental health: Enter the gratitude journal. (And we know journaling has been scientifically shown to bring the acceptance, the calm, the joy, the redirect back to gratitude for what's really important in our lives--especially in situations where there is usually nothing we can do about the stressful issues.) Oh and I liked how you really personalized the trucker's inner thoughts and adding little Peaches...well, showed his softie side didn't it? :) Well done!
