I've put a few miles on the car driving to and from shows. Driving to is fantastic. Driving from is oddly comforting. It's usually me, a couple of cars and SUVs, and a LOT of big rigs. It's quiet, soothing. <br /><br />The RIGHT flavor of Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Daz, whichever it may be at a particular time.<br /><br />Word Search puzzles. Using my mind shuts out a lot of other things. Reading does the same thing. <br /><br />When I get the opportunity, floating in a pool is calming.<br /><br />Guaranteed take-aways.Dawnhttp://boom-child.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-3188373849368839822012-07-02T10:56:38.197-04:002012-07-02T10:56:38.197-04:00Let me tell you, he is fantastic, singing and play...Let me tell you, he is fantastic, singing and playing.

I'm sure everyone has moved on to the next topic by now but here goes. I have had to find new refreshers if you will because since my car accident three years ago I'm very limited. I used to saddle up my mare Angel and go for a long ride or just spend time working around the horses but do that less and less.<br /><br />Music has always been a balm for what ails me. I love to put in a CD of anyone from Nat King Cole to Billy Joel and just listen or sometimes sing along depending on my mood.<br /><br />I used to escape my problems on the Ponderosa which started when I was a child and needed a way to escape my reality. That has carried over all these years later as a safe place to be.<br /><br />Nowadays I rely on comedy to get me through the rough patches in life. I love to laugh and I love to have a laugh with the people around me. Nothing bonds a group faster than a good round of giggles!Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-24084897203324767302012-07-02T02:53:48.763-04:002012-07-02T02:53:48.763-04:00The Maple Leaf

You ...Yeah, I'm addicted to water. I really am.<br />You know that feeling when you're thirsty? I feel that sometimes, when I'm near a lake or a river or the sea...it feels, as if I'm thirsty. But I don't need a drink, I need to step into that water.<br /><br />I do swim in cold water, too..but warm water is better. ;)Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056971028004881629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-21855363289799180362012-07-01T13:29:42.405-04:002012-07-01T13:29:42.405-04:00Thanks Rigel!!!

I'm glad you're doing better, and you're so right. I love being here. And I trust you. I'm glad I can tell you everything. It feels like family.<br /><br />What I do?<br />I read every day. I try to write every day, although I don't know where this will take me. I try to do sports every day (saturday is swimming day...and tomorrow I'll go to the sauna, too...love it). I also love to sit next to my bunnies and cuddle them. They calm me down.<br />Oh, and when it's hot...I prefer staying in my pool the whole day. ;)<br /><br />Bigger things I do for myself:<br />Concerts. I love going to concerts, and I love music.<br />I also love going to the theater (though I haven't been there recently), or watch some comedians (unfortunately not Colin :P).Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056971028004881629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-26042863745212493522012-06-29T16:17:56.734-04:002012-06-29T16:17:56.734-04:00I needed this reminder today. As I said I'm no...I needed this reminder today. As I said I'm not feeling to hot today and I've got a literal TON of stuff to do this evening which includes going up a ladder and I wasn't looking forward to it what with the vertigo and all. So thanks to the reminder I found here I decided I needed to give myself the time for a two hour nap this afternoon. Just got up from it and although I'm still a stuffy mess with ick dripping from every orifice in my head the vertigo has gone and I'm feeling much more ready to face the things I need to get done. <br /><br />P.S.
