Ok, I either write...whilst listening to whatever music fits the mood, (anything from Frank Sinatra- Elvis- Linkin Park- Kenney Chesney), drink a good glass of a fine whiskey- watch a violent movie where the good guys prevail, or read a Lucas Davenport novel...this is if the weather is bad...
or it the weather is good, I get out and do something- go horseback riding, hit some golf balls, get out on the lake with some friends...
And if I am really, really in a bad mood about things, I allow myself no more than one afternoon of self-indulgent moody, lie on the couch in a fetal position cry... sometimes, ya gotta cave to it- but allow yourself a time frame- then get up and do something!! (like make a dart board out of boyfriend pictures...)
When I need an escape from the reality of life, the most constructive thing I do is write. On a beautiful day such as today I will walk down to the park and watch the kids playing baseball or playing in the playground, it reminds me that we only have one chance to be a kid with no cares or worries and sometimes we miss that chance. Walking through the woods, sitting by the water are my other 2 escapes, reminding me to slow down and remember that we can always change the path we are taking and sometimes something unexpected happens in the process.
