HopeWithSmile in reply to

Oh, I can't recommend swimming enough! I was absolutely terrified of water, so I had a huge fight with this fear and eventually prevailed.

There's nothing more calming than just floating on your back. Closing your eyes, listening to the sea and to your breathing.... I always wish I lived by the sea....

in reply to HopeWithSmile

I'm loving it...like you!

What makes me happy:

Reading and writing poetry

Listening to music, singing and dancing badly

Movies/Television/Videos/Books

Some PC and board games

Kindness and companionship

Waking up from a restful sleep; going for a rare walk

Daydreaming, making future plans, then realizing what I imagine

Getting to know people and letting people get to know me

Self-talk, reading aloud (esp. poetry)

Thinking of my cat

in reply to mrmonk

How lovely... just like you!

I've had such a great time getting to know you...I'm so thankful...

in reply to mrmonk

I love and write poetry too!!

mrmonk profile image
mrmonk in reply to

Wonderful, isn't it? For me, it's my center -- I couldn't imagine my life without it. Are there any favorite poems/poets you enjoy reading?

in reply to mrmonk

I love it all. Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, even song lyrics are poetry to me like Korn and Linkin Park,such tortured souls.

I write some really dark ones and also ones to my baby, husband, mil and fil, also one to my son about being a stepmom. I have some published too in a book called Little Boy Blue, poetry from survivors of sexual abuse.

What do you write?

mrmonk profile image
mrmonk in reply to

Though I have my favorite poets, like Sir John Betjeman (whose portrait serves as my avatar), I love discovering new poets, and there are so many to find online (including all the great songs)...even right here in the HealthUnlocked forums! I'll definitely see if I can find a copy of Little Boy Blue -- it's so important that voices like yours have sung out from the depths of such trauma.

For myself, I can only really say that every poem I write is different. Like you, I have written some poems that spoke directly to friends and family. But, to me, writing poetry is all about preserving and animating feelings/emotions in sounds that are particular to verse. Ultimately, it's an art of self-preservation.

It's hard to like what I know I like so maybe writing it will help me remember what makes me happy.

Being needed

Cooking and baking

Giving

Planning and being organized

Listening to birds

Cats purring

Going out to lunch

Walking in the sand

Sea shells

The moon

Dates and long car rides
