subject: She Deserves A Break [print this page] Atlanta GA. Atlanta GA.
Mary Griffin has a problem, a problem that plagues her twenty-four hours a day. Everything she does, she does for her family and because of that - she cant sleep at night.
Mary has a lot going for her. Comfortably middle aged, she has a daughter in her last year of high school, who was just named Homecoming Queen. Her son is one heck of a baseball player and dreams of going pro. She has a good job and a loving husband too.
Unfortunately, her husband has been out of work for a year. He once worked in the automotive industry but since the economy turned down, he has had a very tough time finding work.
When Marys husband was laid off, she was a full time housewife. The lack of money coming in forced them into her sister-in-laws basement. Thats very tough on a mans pride and tough on a marriage. They both looked for work but it was Mary who found it first, managing a large box stores automotive department.
The relief was incredible she says, of moving into a decent three bedroom apartment. Now though, its like the weight of the world is on me day and night. Though not as much income as her husband once made it is an income, just not quite enough, so the pressure is on to keep costs down.
Marys job means dealing with lots of frustrated car owners. The job is not in a very good part of town and so the clientele can be very demanding. Mary is a small and kind person who wants to help everybody.
But sometimes thats just not possible.
Meanwhile at home, she is still the one who gets the kids off to school and does the laundry. To give him credit, her husband does take care of a larger portion of the housework and he does cook at night. Still though, Mary feels the weight of the world on her shoulders and that weight was keeping her from sleeping.
I shied away from sleeping pills because I dont want to be addicted to them.
Mary instead, found Van Winkles 40 Winks Tea.
Its affordable! You get something like 50 servings in a tall 6-inch tin for $14.95. How many sleeping pills could you get for that? Not many. It really works well. I dont know if its the tea or me just relaxing with it every night but it calms my mind and when I hit the pillow Im out. Even better, it tastes super yummy!
Van Winkles 40 Winks Tea is available in 3 gourmet style flavors - Chocolate Chai, Cinnamon Apricot and Mystical Mint.
Mary also adopted a few other new habits. Now, she exercises everyday. She is eating better and has convinced her husband to keep those veggies coming. Together, they are keeping a positive attitude and are constantly networking in order to help her husband to find a good job.
I dont have to drink the tea every night, which is good. But I do drink it often. It really is like a dessert and well I work hard.
Mary and millions like her are keeping their balance in a world filled with upside down mortgages and lost jobs and should be applauded for their dedication to their families and yes, even applauded when they take time for themselves. Even if it is something as small as a nightly walk or a cup of tea doing something little for yourself will allow you to do bigger things for others.
