Maybe I've done too good a job in re-making my living space? It's like every time I go anywhere lately, after a half hour or so, I can't wait to get back to the comforts of home. Or maybe it's the constant overwhelming desire that I have to take my shoes off. Nothing else really, just the shoes. Which probably speaks to the problem that I seem to have with finding a comfortable pair of shoes. I'm beginning to think that's the secret to a good long quality life .... a good pair of shoes. Oh and also maybe a tasty sandwich or bowl of soup each day.
Laughing helps too. I don't really laugh out loud all that often. I'm generally more of a keep it in, silent type of laugher. But I was watching a Seinfeld DVD the other evening at 2:00 or 3:00am and couldn't help it. Just some of the conversations in those middle seasons, after they found their niche and before the show became overly goofy. truly laugh out loud stuff!!
And then there's music to consider, which I could probably write a book about. Search out and collect recordings! For me, the search is as enjoyable as the actual listening experience.
Do something artsy. Create something! .... I have four or five journals/blogs going. I collect photos that interest me and paste them in scrapbooks. I enjoy taking photographs. I've begun messing with Windows Paint to see if I can create anything visual. I'm not claiming that I'm even remotely mediocre at any of those but it's fun and relaxing. I recently read where someone said that it doesn't matter if you are good or not, just that you've created something that wasn't there before. I believe that to be true!!
Find a way to make friends or peace with the things that haunt you. It's essential for survival!!
