Resting our Minds pg 93
Present Crisis
A lot of us want to go back to yesterday to last month to last year just escape this doom and gloom we are watching on television . I try to pull back from it to put things into prespective but I cannot I keep turning on the television to see if this night mare is ending soon people who have worked there whole lives to buy property and have money to retire on and have lost it in the last few days .
Some of us are smart enough to have figured it out even if our 401 k look full the stocks they represent have gone way down in value .Alot of this is scare tactives . I think their is a large segment of the media which want our country to fail .
Their are politicians who have worked over time to cause our country to fail .
One of my hobbies is dancing
I go dancing with friends no matter what the economy is like . No matter what problem I have large or small I go out and dance .
Dancing helps to take your mind off of your problems and it is a great form of extercise.
In most cases our family memebers are still here
A part of me has never died when I have had family members die a part of me has grown . I usually spend a few years doing the good things that the person who died did.
That is because the good that people do while they are alive lives on in their family and friends .
Hiking is a good way to relieve tension
I somewhat feel out hiking recently I started down this one hill and I let go of this one tree and my body ran down the hill only stopped when my head hit a tree . I have been recovering every since.
But I love hiking I love birds wild flowers falling leaves and time spent out of doors.
Get out some libary books
Now is the time to go to the libary and get out a bunch of books on how to save money I am sure the libary will have a run on these books .
How to fix this or that .How to sew how to cook how to do artwork Christmas presents you can make how to cook cheap like frugal gourmae
Go to the movies
Go to the inexpensive movies and eat before you go or after you get home we need to take a break to get away from what is going on with our economy even if it is just for a short period of time .
We need to have confidence in our selves we are still the same people we were before any of this happened we didn't lose any of our special gifts we have that make us us.
Watch a sports on T.V.
You can root on for your favorite team while you are realizing some of your pent up anger over the mess we find our country in.
