To relieve stress, I exercise, journal, and pray. But tonight I did something I haven’t done in a long time that also gives me peace of mind and a lot of satisfaction. I baked a cake. It was from a box, but that doesn’t matter. I enjoyed greasing and flowering the pan, measuring and mixing the ingredients, and the smell of pumpkin cake throughout my home as it was baking in the oven. And the finished product turned out really darn good.
