But, there was an old cemetery I used to visit when things were particularly stressful... it was the most peaceful place I think I've ever visited. I don't live near enough to make that journey easily, but you have reminded me of all the beautiful moments and made me want to visit again. =)<br /><br />Your crochet is lovely but pales next to your beautiful granddaughter... my littlest granddaughter is sleeping right beside me as I type... she will be one this week.

I am drawn to trees, and could spend hours among them. Needless to say I was enthralled in Yosemite, Yellowstone and the Canadian Rockies. My spirit literally unclenches and floats through the trembling leaves of the aspen or bobbing fir needles. To have running water nearby is an even nicer treat. Love the baby hat you made.

So instead I sit in my rocker with a good book, have a cup of tea (and something sugary to eat), and decompress that way.

Sadly there are no local parklands or ponds. My indoor retreat is in my home where I have a room where I can just unwind. Your retreat looked very inviting, especially the treats at the end.

I go to the beach when I need to soothe my soul, but if I don't have that much time I try to sit outside near my pool I like to hear the water and listen to the breeze as it moves thorough the trees. I sit on my swing, close my eyes and breathe. Your granddaughter is beautiful.
