Wave a Flag in Cyberspace

In support of our men and women in the military. Whether you're totally
behind President Bush or adamantly against military force, we need to
remind our troops over there they are in our hearts, our thoughts and
our prayers. Please wave a flag to show these heroes we are proud of
them. http://www.zoom-n.com/wavers/

Living with Uncertainty - Personal Strategies

Got this in an e-mail, source unknown
=======================================

One of the things we have learned over the past 18 months is that we are
amazingly resilient. The vast majority of us have the ability to cope
during the most challenging of times. Taking action where we can,
mobilizing our resources and recognizing what we can control and what we
cannot control can make a big difference in how we feel. Here are some
additional tips and group meetings which you may find helpful.

Living with Uncertainty - Personal Strategies

· Remain engaged in the world by staying connected with people. Don't
withdraw. Talk to family, friends or colleagues about your concerns.
· Keep up with the news, but don't watch it around the clock.
· Take necessary precautions but don't overdo it. Make an emergency
communication plan with family and friends. Reach out to neighbors and get
to know each other.
· Maintain your regular routine and make time to do things you enjoy.
· Get involved in local activities or volunteer your time for a worthy
cause. Know there's strength in numbers and building a sense of community
is very helpful.
· Take care of your health. Make time to exercise and participate in
other pleasurable activities which distract you and lower your stress
level. Be sure to get adequate rest.
· Don't numb your feelings with drugs and alcohol.
· Draw on your religious or spiritual traditions for strength.
· Remember you don't have to believe everything you think. Keep a
perspective.
· Remind yourself that the perceptions are different but the stress
effects from perceptions are real.
· Be optimistic about the challenges ahead. Remember we've come
through challenging times in the past.
