cheap therapy

[cornerofmadness]

For those of us who can't always afford a therapist, like me, I've found a few cheap therapies for bleeding off the stress. One is my friend, the shredder. So I wouldn't have to drag around bills and other personal pack ratted papers, I borrowed a shredder. There is something cathertic about turning paper into little tiny shreds, almost as good as popping bubble wrap.

Today, all the paper shredded, I went outside for a long walk in the woods which turned into a short walk because of the sheer number of ticks. No that wasn't relaxing, though I got some nice pictures of trillium and the wild garlic in bloom (pretty pale purple flowers) right outside my bed room window so that the house smells like a pizzaria (which I don't mind). The cheap therapy? Blowing the ready seeds off dandelion heads. It's like being a kid again without any cares.

Now I'm working on my presentation on wound healing and listening to Joshua Bell's Romance of the Violin (I adore violin music) It's a lovely cd and Bell is a master (www.joshuabell.com) There's about a million reasons I collect and love classical music. The peaceful feeling is one of them. Well, back to the presentation.
