I think I'll share a fun thing to do when I'm having *paige time.
It's nice to reminisce. But always in the most positive aspect of it all. Occasionally I will sit outside, enjoy the crisp air and take out my cell phone. I don't call anyone- just slowly look through the list of memories I have with the people with whom I've surrounded myself.
And occasionally delete the names I no longer need.
It's a nice way to release some endorphins.
Running through my list often takes me to other times which lead me to new memories. This time with a different name in my phone book.
It's time traveling, in a way. Or, maybe a new take on the photo album thing; you always end up losing a bunch of time, but gaining a bunch of fun things to think about.
And these days, I really do have a lot of time on my hands. It's nice, but admittedly, difficult to adjust to. In fact, I'm not certain that I've ever really had a good grasp on that fascinating mind feat. I know, it sounds dramatic. But really. I've always really had a difficult time doing "nothing." I forget how much fun I can have with myself. hehe. Crafting, as Marty calls it; making jewelry, making cards! Painting, taking things apart, putting them together with others I've taken apart... makes for a lovely evening. I really do love all of my paige activities, but somehow I always manage to forget how happy I am doing those things!
So, this memory phone (new take on memory foam) game really helps to me chill. Remember the people I love. Think about things that are important to me. It's nice.
This is a good big mind activity... at least in my big balloon head ...or pretty little head, as the person who I love the most says :)
*Now, S T R E T C H!
...feels amazing, right!?
