Therapy for a Bad Day

Sometimes we need a sanctuary from our own miserable lives. This blog is an attempt to create that sanctuary.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

This blog has turned into a sort of chore. It's regrettable, but I feel that I might stop editing and updating it. I don't think I'll deactivate it because I do think it might be nice to look back on, and maybe someone will stumble upon it and enjoy it. However, it's becoming too much of an activity that I almost dread. I know that sounds strange, but what's not strange is that I would rather spend time not on the computer, but enjoying the summer more. So there you go. If anyone asks me to keep it up because they so desperately love/need it (however doubtful that may be. haha.) I most likely will. But right now I don't think it's read enough to be worth continuing.

Fields

Perfect for picnics, cloud-watching, and frolicking.

Eating Outdoors

It's breezy and refreshing and casual and just plain fun.

Lovebirds

They are, in my not-so-humble opinion, some of the most beautiful birds on the planet. They are so loving and affectionate and they have beautiful colored plumage. They just look so graceful and happy...

Bells

Beautiful ringing and tinkling sounds. They make you feel like one of those little nude cupids that fly around in the clouds all holy and what not.

Snowflakes

In the northern hemisphere, it's summer right now. And that means we all are missing the refreshing and clean look of snow on the ground. At least I am, considering it's 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) outside my house and I've been working out 3 hours a day sweating like a pig. Maybe it's just me...

Sunshine

Sure sign of a good time :D. I'm pretty sure that's the catch phrase for Miller Lite...It still applies.

Starbucks

I'm a coffee/caffeine addict with a flair for the arts. Is it really that necessary to explain why this is up here?

(I may have even already posted something, but I'm not apologizing ;) ).

Balconies

Perfect for yoga, reading, people watching, relaxing, having a drink, and even climbing to stalk potential lovers (yes, Romeo, I'm talking about you).

Clay

Flashback to Play-Doh in kindergarten. The entire world is at your feet and you can make literally anything. Enough said.

[theraputiclittlethings]

Forests

They're a peaceful sanctuary from an over-industrialized world. And you can pull a Snow White and frolic with little woodland creatures...

Lilies of the Valley

They're so beautiful and delicate and they grow in the shade--lovely surprises of beauty in a place you wouldn't expect there to be any.

Ivy

It makes any building look classy and intellectual. ;)

Finding Lost Things

I lose things a lot. And I lose everything and anything. It's absolutely pathetic. And I get made fun of by my mom all the time. Therefore, I've found that there is almost nothing as satisfying as finding something I lost and proceeding to rub it in here face (I usually fib and say I had a feeling it was there all along--I don't think she buys it, but it makes me feel better...).

Graffiti

It's art in its natural habitat and a splash of color in a jungle of gray.

[theraputiclittlethings]

Sleeping Animals

Cutest thing on the entire planet.

Reading Glasses

I don't care if you don't actually need them; you can still put them on the crook of your nose and act like a crotchety old librarian.
