If Whippet finds life getting a little too much he buries his head under a cushion.
Myself I eat chocolate and listen to rock and roll.
And reserve cushions for propping up purposes. Mainly books.
Happy reading, what would we do without a bit of escapism?
I especially like something with a bit if humour.
I have just discovered Tibor Fischer. Not everyone's read but amused me no end.
I agree we do need a bit of escape ism.But it don't take the pain away ,just gives you a small relief, and a smile helps a lot.x
I sing a lot...
I agree, reading is one of my lifelines. Along with listening to music. Which reminds me, I need to indulge and buy some new cd's!
If I sang I would probably be served an Asbo.
And I don't know which one i could do without.
Music or books.
Doesn't bare thinking about.
Happy listening.
Re nothing at all. I use very loud music to meditate with. But I have to take the car out in the spirit of good neighbourlyness.
Knitting. I am now on the third attempt at a tricky blanket I started 4 years ago. But that's on hold because I have decided to learn how to do socks. About a third of the way through my second attempt at the first half of a pair now.
People say of a lot of things, "Well it has to be better than sitting at home doing knitting." I say, don't knock it til you've tried it. Knitting is no longer the preserve of old ladies!
I can knit but I simply cannot follow a pattern.
Same with maps. I can read a map doesn't help me get where I am going through.
Or written instructions for that matter. No wonder I can't get the life in order.
Have an inability to keep to rules too unless i can see the point in them. Brings out the worst in me.
Happy socking.
Meditation for me. I immerse myself in colour - think of pain as a colour and change it to switch the pain off. Psychodelic tripping without the drugs and unfortunately the hangover when I return to reality. Well worth it though.
Funny writers - Alexander McCall has a certain humour about him.
Hi Zanna I sometimes try a bit if escapism via color but have yet to experience the effect that i get with surrounding the body beautiful with music. Do you have certain colours that work for you. I am always drawn to orange when really down. I wouldn't look at it at any other time. I painted my bathroom with it once 6 months latter I had had enough of it.
I too like McCall.
Fischer has an offbeat humour that may offend some.
A dark clever alternative look at life that is refreshing.
I get stuck in a rut. Coming across something refreshing is rare. Life takes so much more energy when in pain constantly I keep my head down and just concentrate on left foot right foot. I have to fall over things before I notice them these days.
Stodge I am turning stodgy me thinks.
Been having bad chest pains and need answers or ideas please 
Tired and pain really bad.
I'm reading but not up to many answers.
