Then there is my dear friend Skittles who says my blog makes her smile. She gave me this wonderful badge that she had received and passed it on to me...thank you Skittles...I shall post it proudly and pass it on....
Thought for the day.....I was reading from a book I have called "Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much" by Anne Wilson Schaef. This book is presented in days of the month and each day of the month is a theme...a thought...she uses quotes from famous people and then provides her own interpretation of the quote. This one for some reason just spoke to me today...it has to do with Healing...Healing takes time. Healing is an every day affair. Some traumatic events in our lives require physical, emotional, and/or spiritual healing, and sometimes we just need to let the nicks, chips, and the dents from everyday living heal. Doing the work we do and holding things together the way we do takes its toll.When we need these healing times, there is nothing better than a good long walk. It is amazing how the rhythmic movements of the feet and legs are so intimately attached to cobweb cleaners in the brain. And we must take a long walk, because at first we think about our problems. These thoughts dissipate over time, thus allowing the healing to begin and we are less focused on our thinking. ~ by Anne Wilson Schaef~
What made me think about this is, is that issomething I tend to do every time I go for a run....I run to clear my head....I run to burn off anger and frustration.....I run to help heal the inner me. Today when I went running....I started thinking about things I need to to....a conflict at work that will have to be dealt with....then before I knew it I was half way through my run....then on the way back I was able to enjoy my surroundings...the breeze off of the ocean....my surroundings...and the sun ....so warm on my back......
Hope you are enjoying your day......

I've had a terrific day today :)
And it's always good when I visit here too.. take care!
Thanks so much for the "Smile" award; I'll wear it with pride on my blog.
As to the dealing with stress, my mother used to say when she was really upset, angry, depressed - whatever -one of the things she liked to use to work out her inner conflicts was baking bread. She said the kneading and working of the dough often gave her a release of many of her tensions. I've tried that and especially if I'm depressed, it seems to help to bring things into a different light - plus it's so pleasing and comforting to be able to enjoy the fruits of my labors then as well.
i love that pic... walking/running is good for your soul your right;)
