Lawn Mower Therapy
If you can't afford therapy may I suggest the next best thing: mowing the lawn.
I am not kidding. There may be few activities more mentally freeing than mindlessly walking in step, row after row, to the drone of the mower's motor. If I could write while doing it, this space would have a lot more content. Thoughts come in torrents as I push that little machine around the yard.
For someone who enjoys daydreaming as much as I do, it is a wonderful diversion that accomplishes something at the same time. Unfortunately (for me -- you might be happy about it), I never remember more than vague hints of my ethereal escape and, thus, can't share them here.

Sorry it took a w hile, but I'm finally getting around to visiting your site from your comment on mine.
Such enjoyable musings..
I know what you mean, any mindless task is relaxing. Now if I could just get my lawnmower to work, my house is lost in a jungle. :)
I listened to some of your music too. I liked. Gentle, happy undertone, somehow pulsing with life. Nice.
Thank you!
