The best kinds of therapy...




A massage by a Dominican in a hut by the ocean in Costa Rica...(sometimes I just dream about it, again and again).
My favorite little Nano can suddenly enclose me in a bubble of private space that can't be touched...sometimes I keep one foot in reality by wearing only one head phone...not as fun but very necessary.
A little temple goes a long way.
Blogging buddies that make me feel connected and normal...or special.
Fresh snow, hot chocolate and little girls with excitement that can't be contained.
Coloring in the lines with just a smidgen of shading here and there.
A down comforter and a room with a ceiling fan.
Projects with a beginning and an end.

We take what we can get right? I too love my little i-pod. It helped me through a very hard morning of getting a root canal...Let's go play sometime. I almost called to see if I could borrow a daughter the other day. I wanted to go see "Enchanted", but my boys..All of them...said no.

I love projects with a beginning and an end. I wish I had more of them with endings.

Oh those things of comfort..sometimes they are the only things that keep me going!

I think I need some therapy too. I'm thinking a nice long run with the ipod, but alas what to do with the kiddos :)

By the way when did you learn to color inside the lines? Perhaps you could teach me.

I totally LOVE coloring in coloring books. One of my favorite things is a new box of crayons. Is that a little weird...I mean, I will be 29 in a few weeks!

That is a very nice coloring page, and yes, hot chocolate is the best... have you tried Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate Sensation, because it's very good.

I love "favorites" lists. This made me happy just reading it because so many of these are my faves too... (Except, sadly I have not been to Costa Rica.)

Sometimes just saying them out loud makes us remember how lucky we are. That's another good thing about blogs!

I still have not ever had an "American" massage. I think I am going to feel a little jilted when I don't get the "full body" treatment like we did in Costa Rica :) LOVED IT!!!!

I love hot chocolate in the winter time too!
