This morning..
Sitting on the balcony, wearing my nightgown, feeling the cooler temps (I'm in Texas, this is rare) on my skin, listening to the rain, and drinking coffee in my favorite pink mug.

Great way to start my day, especially a day off. (Oh, and I can hear the train whistle coming thru town)

I woke and it was dark, it's getting lighter, which means this band of thunderstorms is coming to and end.

Well, right now, after a rain, just standing in the doorway of my Hermit shack by the beach, looking at the peaceful lagoon, smelling the fresh Spring air, seeing the pretty flowers and new leaves on the trees and grass growing is therapeutic.. Still too cold to swim, but I like going beach-combing. Sometimes, just sharpening my tools and knives is therapeutic, or going to the flea-market and buying an old chair or table to strip is therapeutic. Sometimes just watching some old Disney cartoon can be therapeutic for me.

Gardening. Barefoot gardening feels fantastic. Naked gardening is the most therapeutic.

FireSignFemme · 04-18-2019, 06:10 PM

Writing, uncensored getting all those feelings out, then burning what I've written.

Buying canning jars too roughed up to use for canning, taking them home/outside, and smashing them all to bits. Then sweeping up the mess. Tranquil.

Ask others what they suggest when it comes to fixing a problem. Then in most cases, do my all out level best to do the exact opposite. Sometimes I don't know what the right choice is until I hear the wrong, stupid one.

Doing something nice for someone I care about who has it so much worse than me. I had a nun suggest that to me once and so long as it's done in moderation, it really is helpful.

Listening to Post Modern Jukebox works for me (too)

Soaking in a hot tub, while watching the waves roll in at the beach. There's nothing like the breeze of cool salty ocean air and watching the birds fly above and hearing the waves crash onto the beach nearby, while soaking in the hot tub.

walking Scout through the rainforest to dreamtime beach at dawn,just me n her and the ocean,the joy in that pitty/staffie smile they have.
playing guitar and trying to find the notes for my voice

watching the birds,in my garden,ive turned it into a mini rainforest,planting indiginous plants,that grow local to this area,attracting the local birds.

And yes,a hot bath

RebelDyke · 11-01-2019, 11:02 AM

sitting outside by a bonfire, watching the star or the fire, smoking a cigar

Kansas has the most beautiful stars (as well as Minnesota)

When I go to a laundromat, I love watching the comforter tumble in the giant dryer. The thump thump of the dryer plus the repetitive motion is very relaxing plus it's always warm and cozy in there.
