Destressing the Stressed

This week was my mother-in-law's birthday and my sister-in-law was super busy preparing.  Laura, my sister-in-law was preparing the meal when the oven broke!  She had to go to her friends house to finish baking part of the meal and was very stressed.  She asked somebody to help do decorations and clean up the house a bit.  Nobody did it!  I realized that nobody else in the family was going to help her out so when she was gone I finished decorating and cleaning up the kitchen area.  When she got home she didn't ask who had cleaned or decorated but I could tell it relieved a little more stress for her.  When dinner time came I helped her set the table and poor the drinks.  I think it really helped her and I was happy to do it!
