What do you do when life gets messy?
When tasks go unfinished, and work days run late?
Clean underwear runs low, and gifts go unbought,
When appliances break, and exhaustion sets in?
Things that don't help:
Zoning out on bubbleshooter online games
Retail therapy beyond one's means
Bingeing on carbs
Falling asleep on the couch
Complaining for an hour
Things that do help:
A soak in the tub with Epsom salts
A healthy meal
Drinking lots of water
Buying a reminder to breathe from a talented friend
Standing barefoot in the grass under an old oak tree, glass of wine in hand, breathing in the gusting breezes while gazing up at the full moon in Pisces.
There. That helps. Just...breathe.

ReplyDeleteWhat? Shopping doesn't help? I'll trade the carbs for chocolate!!! And then I'll feel bad and know that your gratitude and breathing's probably a better way to go. No definitely. Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying nature in its purest form takes away so many stresses for me - full moon, warm breezes and wine!
ReplyDeleteI like the positive side of what you had to say. There used to be a saying, "Always take time to smell the roses". Sometimes when the "Negatives" take charge we get to overcome to remember to employ the "Positives". Life is too short to let the bullshit get you down. Be Happy. I love Ya, Dad.
