2. I did that frequently at the stream behind my house.

Very calming.

3. there's a stream about a mile down the road from me

with little waterfalls.

I take the dogs there sometimes, and sit and meditate on the rocks.

4. DAMN! I haven't done that in over 35 years.

Going to when I finally get better and out of this damn bed.

There's a stream close to where we lived in from '66' to'69' that was still the same way I remembered it the last time I drove past it about 10 years ago. Hopefully it's still the same. It is way out in the boonies so there is hope.

Some of my best childhood memories are from that time of my life.

I'll be 59 in 11 days. (5-17)

edit: left out a word

5. Sounds like a great idea bearsoapbox

I hope you're not too sick. Welcome to DU, have fun. And happy birthday!

[AAO]

7. Congrats on making it to 59! I made it there last December.

Pretty much the same as 58, but you have to remember to say 59 now when asked your age. With advancing years it's nice to keep things simple. Or it could be the medication.

8. If you can't make it to a stream just be quiet and watch for the next thought to come to you.
