Optimistic report

[Viva001]

I think folks like optimism, right?

I just returned from 3 days in the NC mountains, where I completely forgot I was old & sick!  I climbed on rocks, threw the ball in the water for OCD dog 1,000 times, & slept well listening to the sound of rushing water.  I saw a dear friend& their beautiful 2 sons.  
It took me hours of searching, but I found the perfect spot, exactly what I wanted--& needed.  We would've stayed longer, but it was booked up.  I haven't been this happy in years!
(now I'm back to excessive heat, mosquitoes, & boring housework, sigh...p).

If you can't change your environment, the trick is to find peace & happiness every day in mundane things.  Easier said than done, I know!!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Yes, wouldnt that be fun?  Which direction are you?
I hope we all continue to have better health.

Boone is only an hour away from us!  Next time let us know!  Would love to meet you!

We were in Boone; too bad our timing was off!  I want to go back in the spring too, as I've never seen the rododendrons in full bloom.  I'm going to buy some water shoes so next yr I can walk in the stream.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the mts too.  We're only 2+ hr away; I don't know why we don't go there more often.  (well, there is the expense).

I'd like to hear others' favorite places or things to do!

I have to agree I always felt better when I was in the Mts....my DD and I would go camping and while there I could breath better...and over all I was more relaxed....just thinking about it relaxes me...so when I need it I close my eyes and dream of being in my favorite spot at that campgrounds with my DD......fond memories that will forever bring me joy : )
