I actually made it to the lake but only cause aunt was here. Plus I was getting a little stir crazy sitting at home. Had anxiety but just floating rolling on waves was relaxing. Felt ugly and fat but I tried to hide my fears. Hope you have a beautiful day everybody!!!πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜€πŸ˜Ž

Thank you for the pic lovedogs... Ironically today, my therapist talked about using the floating rolling waves in allowing me to be gently taken through anxiety. Good Timing, now I have a picture to go along with the thought. Have a great day! xx

Its definitely relaxing and the heat wasn't bad that day. The water is around 70 to 80 degrees in the summer! Its awesome!!!

It felt great to shut my eyes out there and just gently roll over the waves. I got out but was so anxious. It did feel good to get out tho! I'm getting bored sitting at home. Took aunt to Vegas airport and I asked my mom to drive down the strip. Was so cool to be home for a bit. Had lunch in my old neighborhood which was super nice! When we left I started to cry. Then my mom and I stopped off in mesquite NV so mom could gamble. She won over 150 bucks! Was a great dayπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜€πŸ˜„ Hope your doing good to!

Its sand hollow lake in Utah. Its very peaceful out there. Very beautiful scenery

So pretty. You could enlarge that picture, frame it, and have a nice picture to brighten up a room.

Great .. you moved out ..

Next time when going , go alone .. what I mean without your thoughts of feeling ugly /fat etc .. you are a world within yourself .. take yourself out .

All what these advertising agencies have define as beauty is non sense ..

Just take out 1/2 inch of surface from everyone’s body (I mean skin ) as see how beautiful it’s look .. are we skin / colour of our body or are we our mind and soul and much more ..

you have such a beautiful soul .. so put this baggage of feeling worried how you look .. and move out ..

Wow thanks for the message. Your so right but my mind wins every time and keeps me stuck in my condo most days. I went for a 10 minute walk this morning but was terrified the whole time. Your right tho. I just wish my mind could stop with all these negative thoughts. Its very hard to say good things cause their isn't any. Oh well just another day in hell. Hope your doing great!!!!

Beautiful photo...

Well done for getting out there 🌺🌼🌺🌼

That is a cool photo. Did you use filtering on your camera?

lovedogs51511 profile image
lovedogs51511 in reply to Marshall64

No just took it real quick with my phone we left. Don't know what filtering does. Lol.

I'm not a photographer but there are different settings even on an Android phone (like I got) to get different effects. You can make it faded, make it look like old style film, etc. Some of the settings enhance certain colors.

Anyway, that is beautiful. I live in the Midwest so I don't have anything cool like that except in the fall when leaves change colors.

lovedogs51511 in reply to Marshall64

Oh I see. That's cool. I took a few more pics but I liked the one I posted more cause of the waves rolling in. Where in the Midwest do you live? I've been to Kansas once. I loved all the farms etc. I like country living. Its the best!!

St. Louis, the city with the arch. Some people (not from here) think it is the McDonald's arch(es). 😊

There are lakes and rivers outside the city (I live in the suburbs). In southern Missouri there are showing spring fed rivers that are in the Ozarks and that are scenic. Not far from there is Branson which is tourist area.

We have the Bowling Hall of Fame and the Dog Museum in St. Louis. No joke. 😊

Oh that sounds awesome! Yea I've seen that arch on tv a lot. McDonald's lmao!!! I love lakes and rivers. Used to go to them everyday with my dog in Washington state where I unfortunately grew up for 40 years. Ugh. I've heard that name Branson. Ill have to look it up. I love that y'all have a dog museum. Too silly. Hope I can find that on the internet. Sounds like a lovely place to enjoy lifeπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜€πŸ˜„

After I sent my response I remembered you liked dogs (it is your username duh!).
