Hello again, ancientlight.
I had you're story on my mind throughout the night last night, and then again this evening. I read it all again and we do share a lot in common.
I had recently stopped listening to music, which was huge for me. Music being one of my great loves. I had also stopped enjoying movies even more recently. Which is another one of my favorite things to do to unwind and escape this reality; even if for a moment. I was coming out of that depression that I had mentioned and an opportunity arose for me, and I ended up taking on a new hobby. I started to garden a little bit. I've planted a few things out in the yard that I get to now learn more about. I bought a bougainvillea plant because of its beauty, but knew nothing about the thing. I read a little on the plant, and then found the ideal spot in the yard for it, and now I have learned a lot about it as it has grown and taking care of it. I had also made a pot with three different types of flowers. This has become my baby. I have come to realize that I love gardening. I have a routine with everything, and when I am "gardening" everything else dissappear. It's like nothing else exists but those plants. They give me a break from all the thinking. Even though it does not consume all of my day, it is nice to be able to do something that clears my mind and my spirit at the same time. I'm at total peace when caring for those plants. I wanted to share this with you yesterday, but got tunnel visoned in my thoughts, and so I came back to suggest taking up a new hobby. Something relaxing to you. Something new.
Hope this post finds you well.
