Re: Re: Rituals

Anyone else have rituals they do to release their

stress?

I

don't know if you could call it a ritual, but when I am particularly stressed,

or sad, or whatever.... I go to the park (normally after dark) and swing

on the swings until I feel better!

I

made it through the stress of paramedic school that way! Only a few

of my friends know, or knew where to go to look for me. To this day,

I get messages from one of my friends about wanting to go swinging!

Love and big smiles,

Aisha

(Who always sends helium balloons to people at times rather then

flowers also lol.)

If

you ever decide to send me balloons (not that you are going to, but...)

could you send me mylar NOT latex! I am very allergic to latex!

You know, I was just talking to Alison about Sark (who is an inspirational writer) and she has this book called "Juicy Living" and she devotes an entire week to Swinging!!

Hi Everyone

You are really making me melancholly today. When I first started teaching my

roommate and I would go swinging late at night in the park. We lived in a

small village owned by Shell. The police cruised the streets constantly and

she ened up marrying the chief. So much for swinging. Love it.

I also make a list of everything I want to talk about with the Dr. They sit

down beside me and we discuss everything I write down. We don't have a desk

between us we talk. This is one of the reasons I don't get mad when I have

to wait in the office for my turn. I know that the Dr. will give me the time

I need also.

Just thought I would jump in here. Have a good day. I wish I had a magic

wand to wave and make everyone's pain go away. I will miss Lillian.

Love you all Carolyn

This is funny because I thought I was the only adult who loves swinging. I like taking kids to the park because it gives me an excuse to swing!!!!!

I

am glad that I have something in common with folks on here, other than

my screwed up health and life.

I

have been big time into swinging since I can remember.... I am glad that

my favorite hobby is fun for more than just me!

Dear Carolyn,

"You are really making me melancholly today."

Sweetie perhaps we all need to help you establish a ritual so you don't hold in all your anger and frustration? Do you write, as in a journal?? Or paint? Perhaps we can all think of things to help you get rid of your stress. No one wants you to be melancholy dear one. *HUG*

Love you and hopes we can find a way to make you smile again,

Aisha.

This is public

service announcement!!!!!!!! SWINGS

RULE!!!!!!!!! And

death to anyone who dares to insult them.......... I

have sat on swings both when I'm happy or upset for as long as I can remember.....

I

fully agree!!!! It is my favorite thing to do in the world!!!!

as a kid I used to pretend I was

an aie-ambulance going to rescue a girl who had been trapped in a magic

door..........

I

had never thought of the Air Ambulance thing, but if you have never been

up in one... sounds cool to me!!!

As

a paramedic, who has flown with an air ambulance.... LifeLink III got to

go fly with the twice! It was my future plan to be an actual worker

on the flight, instead of as a "ride-a-long"

The

first time we went to Redwood Falls, MN. To transport a cardiac patient

back to Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis. I was

recognized by one of the ICU staff, This nurse had been a former

nurse at St. Ramsey Medical Center, where I had volunteered for 8

years, and to this day, I hold the record for number of hours by a "Jr.

Volunteer"!!

That

was pretty cool!!!!!!

Well that's my input on

the subject.......

I

totally agree!!!!! You go girl!! lots

of love and happy swinging, Sonja

Maybe

sometime we should get together and go swinging!!!
