I have a massive live oak tree in my front yard, and there's a small lake in my subdivision. On the rare occasions when I have a leisurely morning, I take a cup of coffee out and sit on the bench under the tree or over by the water. Very calming to start the day this way.Joan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-44813579619861957862018-03-23T11:06:36.631-05:002018-03-23T11:06:36.631-05:00Lisa, I just had to reply to your Comment.

My daughter is now a chronic pain patient since 2 back surgeries in 2016 and pain abatement procedures from a so-called Pain Management doctor made the situation so much worse and resulted in her now having a lifelong condition for which there is no cure. She started blogging about being a chronic pain patient and the alternative things she's done that helped--and the medical stuff that did not work. If you'd like to check out her blog, it's http://www.adinamayo.com. Good luck with your compressed nerve. I went through that all of 2014 after moving and remodeling a house. Took me a year to get where I could raise my right arm.

I have escaped from LIFE because I haven’t been able to enjoy any of the things I love. So since January of 2017, I’ve read and reviewed 146 (will finish 147 tonight or tomorrow). I also do online Jigsaw Puzzles everyday to help keep my mind sharp. I enjoy music, too!

I read of course and besides just being on facebook I play games probably too many on my phone and kindle. I watch NCIS during the day when it is on, my favorite tv show and I snuggle my little furry guys when they let me. One loves to sit with me in my recliner and get messaged and give me kisses. Then I sleep when I can which doesn't happen easily. I listen to my Christian music station and sing along.<br />craftydrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194708187772228944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-53935742466755964552018-03-22T20:13:45.580-05:002018-03-22T20:13:45.580-05:00Josie, thank you for reminding us that we need to ...Josie, thank you for reminding us that we need to slow down, spend time in meditation, and relax.

I rarely use my cell phone and love being able to go out without that feeling I "must" be in constant contact via text messages, phone calls, Facebook, or email. The problem is that I am often with others who feel that they "must" be constantly connected - so I sit there while they are on the phone making calls or checking social media. I think it is a little sad that they can't enjoy their own company.<br />jaxlass/Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271370634856316852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-33257957456396725462018-03-22T13:10:05.177-05:002018-03-22T13:10:05.177-05:00I try to do unplug as much as possible.
