therapy

Certain things in my life have become very theraputic. Someone made a comment to me about how I "must have a lot of extra time to be able to blog". To a certain extent, I suppose that could be true. But the more I thought about it, really I just take the time (like now - i should definitely be studying for my final tonight, not doing this). Writing -or blogging in this case - has become theraputic in a sense. By theraputic I mean it can be a great stress reliever or just a relaxing/fun thing if I'm not stressed. Okay so I guess what I'm trying to get at is a lot of different things can be like therapy.

-Leah and I went on a snow walk last week at night into the early morning. At one point I made the comment to her that she probably thinks I need to be in therapy...but really us walking around campus talking as the snow fell was very theraputic in itself.

-Lately I eat a lot of Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips speratically throughout the day...therapy. :)

-Running - mainly for maintaining a decent weight, but also theraputic.

-The other night I deleted some pictures on my camera that I had been hanging on to for the last year and a half. The pictures were tied to a really great memory...but also something I needed to let go of. Finally bringing myself to delete those pictures was like therapy/closure on that event. Okay so they are still in a folder on my laptop somewhere...I'll get to that eventually.

-I told my mom the other night that I need to spend a year in Paris to write and go to art museums...apprently that therapy is "unrealistic".

So basically I encourage you to find small things in your life that become a form of therapy. If you have a hard time thinking of them...I recommend french silk pie blizzards from dairy queen.
