Tagged? Um. OK.

Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

In no particular order and including answers to either question (since so few activities answer both):

* Kata, especially Pinan Shodan or Pinan Nidan

* Read anything without 'psychology' or 'clinical' in the title

* Play with my cats

* Meditate/breathe

* Putter about the house

* Listen to music

Who do I want to do this list?
tamarta, ms_pinkk, templeofgod, tiny23, and nericksx.

1) Kiss hug and otherwise love on dogs.

2) Dig in dirt and smell green things grow. Secretly talk to plants and whisper words of encouragement.

3) Listen to music and sing.

4) Bath.

5) Talk on the phone. Even if no one wants to play. Even if everyone is sad. Why do I have to only play with my friends? Can't we cry a bit, too?

Can't we cry a bit, too?

yep! I've got that too, it does help sometimes.

Yes. Yes, we can. Yes, we do.

Hmmm...I really had to limit the things I put my list, Sir, as I have TONS of things that fall into these categories. Here's just some of them:

* Climbing a tree

* Running...as fast as I can...anywhere, just away...(or mountain biking...it's faster and more dangerous...smile...)

* Meditating/smoking shisha/just zoning & being

* Drinking red wine & taking a bath

* Dancing naked under the moon & the stars, or just rocking out to cheezy 80's music (bouncing on the bed while listening to cheezy 80's music is good too)!

* Reading a good book in bed, all snuggled under the covers

* Playing with worms and splashing in mud puddles on a rainy day...definately...

(I also agree with others about crying/talking to friends on the phone...ALWAYS a good thing!)

My friends have wonderful things to do. Maybe I should be doing some of them, with them...

Love, Grim
