When I’m feeling uncomfortable and ‘want to get away’, I’ve found that the best place for me to go is outside with my animals. I can look up into the blue sky, with tall pine trees and enjoy the sounds and the fresh smells. It’s a great place for me to escape and clear my mind. Especially when I have a “wild” mustang come up to ‘hug’ me with her head on my shoulder. … a girl hasn’t lived until she experiences that bond.
And when getting outside is not an option, I can tune out the world and think back to fun times with friends and family where I’ve smiled and laughed for hours. Remembering that I can smile and enjoy myself, is always a boost to a rough day.
