The taxing battle of finding work

Anymore it seems to be growing harder and harder to find legit work. Trying to keep a flexible schedule and make time for friends and family can be quite taxing. Trying to keep your head up and above water with your monthly finances can be a strain too, especially if you aren't pulling in the money you want. I've noticed that although there's quite a few different things that one can do to counter act this stress, it still seems that the stress remains. Meditation helps, but it's not a problem solver. One thing I have found that works well, is playing with the dogs in the back yard....how can you stay stressed with cute furriness all around you? :)
