Today I was having a rough day, the kind that makes your blood pressure
rise.......

So I took my 4ds and his friend to the park. I brought along bubbles
and it was so fun. I really felt relaxed and as I blew the bubbles
it felt as if my troubles were blowing away.......

Sometimes I feel that way when I color with my children in coloring books.

It seems like blowing bubbles is something almost anyone could do.....

Is there something you do that makes your troubles seem to blow
away??????

This made me think of a joke my 5th grader came home with.


You want to hear a clean joke? Answer: I took a bath with bubbles.
You want to hear a dirty joke? Answer: Bubbles is the name of the girl next door.

Imagine sitting at dinner and having one of your kids tell that one to you.


Sorry for the hijack, but I couldn't resist.

I always welcome "funny kids hijacks" Holly

I remember my 5year old db telling a joke at dinner to my dear grandparents,
......The punchline was "I turned off the lights, flew thru the air and hit
my n*ts on the bedpost, I thought my grandparents were gonna
choke. I still laugh when I think about it now 35 years later.

Daydreaming about the Sierra Nevada Mountains here in CA does that to me.

Bubbles are fun, I'll bet the wiglets loved that. When I feel like floating away, I like to take a ride in the car; sometimes it's a half hour, other times, well, a bit longer.

I put on my music (earphones) and think about being on the beach...listening to the ocean.

Or...I go outside and

Sometimes I just pick up the phone and call a good friend and say we need to meet for COFFEE and we all make some calls and meet. It's so relaxing to sit and talk about nothing in particular.

In the warm months, like tonight, DH and I sit in the swing underneath the tree and talk. Someone usually pulls in and sits w/us for a while, which happened tonight.

Jim and I sit on the back porch and just talk. Sometimes I go out there by myself and just sit in the swing and gaze out. Like DM, there are sure to be a few neighbors or friends to stop by as well. I like to listen to the birds chirp too.

Today I needed this. Thanks.

I go to my cabin in the woods far away from everything out in the middle of no where. By the time I get home again I am relaxed and ready for whatever blows my way.....

I play with and love up my Doggy. He makes me feel good.
