In response to "Release the stress"

I so like people who can sing! I sound like a crow to myself when I try. Great that you're going out into the nature. I wish though, the concussion had not happened. So sorry you had to go through all that. I sometimes miss my words, too, and I didn't have a concussion. I'm just aging. Luckily when I write, we have Google and an online thesaurus.

In response to "Bhutan "

I looked up Buddhism vs. Christianity. It was enlightening to actually see the differences.

In response to "Bhutan "

When I was a teenager I read Shirley MacLaine’s book You Can Get There From Here, in which she devotes a section to time she spent in Bhutan. It fascinated me.
While I respect & admire the aspects of Buddhism I know of, I’d be a bad Buddhist. I like earthly human stuff too much 😊

In response to "Perth"

Wow, you could easily sell your house and travel for the rest of your life.

Kind of like me, I live in Los Vegas but we live in the southwest part of the city about 35 minutes with traffic from the strip where all the casinos are located. It's like a whole other planet. We go four times a year to see the botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel and that's it.

Vegas has been cooler the last several winters and had more rain than usual.

Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.

Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.

In response to "Tricky words"

It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.

We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.

Calm down.

I find listening to a talk back radio programme de stresses me, or a podcast of a conversation between two interesting people. The sound of people talking calms me down much more than music will. I like to cook and listen, those two things together has a calming effect, plus I end up with meals that I can freeze for later!
Going for a walk with the dog always makes me feel better too. I have found though I no longer get as stressed or worked up about things as used to. Maybe I have learned worrying makes no difference to the outcome.
The way I used to deal with a problem was by writing down my thoughts, using a pen and paper not keyboard. I’d write the pros and cons of a situation, or if I was angry at someone I write them a letter. Rarely did I find the need to actually give it to them. It just made me feel better.

Nostalgia

Nostalgia is a lovely word, it sums up a time in the past which gives a feeling of warmth, safety and place one would like to return to.
I can’t think of a specific event which gives me that feeling, but I can remember a time when just being at home with my family around me, especially my Mum, evoked those feelings that everything is alright in the world and I’m safe.
Once you reach adulthood that feeling never seems to be there. Even when you’re surrounded by your own children and partner there is always the undercurrent of responsibility and wariness. I hope though that my children received that same feeling of ‘home is where Mum is’ that I did.
