Wind chimes. Music...classic rock, classical (especially Vivaldi, Bach, and I enjoy Lully), some disco/New Wave, some old punk, and sometimes jazz. Jazz can be grounding and relaxing. Voices of people I love. I really enjoy hearing my oldest sister's voice, she has a low, comforting, but expressive voice. Probably a lot like mine, haha. My cats walking around.
Do you prefer to shop online and have items delivered to your door or would you rather shop in stores? __________________ Last edited by *Beth*; May 05, 2022 at 08:07 PM.. |

Ohh that’s a toughie. I miss the stores that are no more. The department stores, Woolworth and others. I used to find the most amazing things by browsing. But I have to say it quite cool to have things come to my door. But it’s not nearly as fun anymore. Don’t know for sure if that’s me or the stores. I need something and I google it, and order it. No fun in that. But I guess that’s good too, no impulse buys anymore. I definitely consume much less.

During our recent visit to the US, we found many old stores closed. The town was taking on a new flavor.

listening to my never ending supply of music. seriously: I got loads!.
how often does death cross your mind?. do you just try and get on with your life?, or do you find your mind wondering to thoughts about dying (to clarify, I mean natural dying, not sui). |

I live with my 94 yr old mum who thinks about dying a lot. She’ll get these moods where she packs away a lot of her stuff so we kids don’t have to do it when she dies. But for myself, no I don’t think of it much.

Peaceful protests have also sometimes been means of toppling weakening totalitarian regimes. Czech Republic is again an example. Back in the mid and late 1980s, several countries in the former communist block had protests that resulted in the end of communism there. It was the will of those people that ended it. Not Ronald Reagan saying simply saying "Gorbachev, tear down that wall!" Peaceful protests CAN make positive changes happen. I believe that the gatherings led by Martin Luther King Jr. contributed to some improvements for black Americans. I hope peaceful protests help Americans preserve rights that may possibly be soon taken away. Complacency can sometimes be dangerous. Have you ever stood up in any way in support of a cause or participating in a "Walk" for some type of cause? __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia.

I’ve been to many peaceful protests my last being the occupy movement. I was limited by my back though and couldn’t stay. Most of my activity was for climate and literacy. I came of age in the 70’s so peaceful protests is part and particle of my life.

Nope but I’d like to see it. I think a ride on the maid of the mist would be so cool.

I have so many.
one of mine is a baby laughing. well, a baby doing anything. cooing, feeding from the bottle, babies are just adorable I also like the sound of the train as it chugs on down the track a cat purring rain on the window running water what is usually your first drink of a morning. tea, coffee, or something else |

I’d have to say V-8. I love V-8 even though I don’t drink it that often. I like natural juices too but drink them even less, they are so expensive. Sometimes I get a hankering for cherry- cranberries juice.

Yeah, we put them in pots so we can take them inside if it drops below freezing again (very possible).

Mindfully look far, then near. Feeling different textures near me, shuffling my feet, smelling, listening to what sounds there are. I can do all this quite unobtrusively.

Sister Monica Joan on Call the Midwife (the only current show I watch). She just knows so much and can't always access it. The stories she could tell fascinate me.
