Self care - what do you do to stay mentally healthy?

Something that I realize lately: I enjoys traveling.
It doesnā€™t have to be a long trip or something, maybe just take the road to a little town makes me feel super relaxed and calm, just to watch the trees, the clouds, the sun, or even the rain.
And it doesnā€™t have to be like a super expensive trip, even I can make some sandwiches or some snacks, but I enjoy it and I feel like with high battery for another week.

Last night I said yes to an ā€œimpromptuā€ walk with a friend. We saw a HUGE Gator. Talked with some neat people. Walked 4 miles around the beautiful area and made a new friend! I love nature and love strolls
GOOD FRESH AIR

crocheting is a good thing, I have gotten in something called random acts of crochet kindness, you can find it on Facebook, anyway, this has given me something to pass along to others, the stuff is easy to make, this has given me purpose, instead of genealogy all the time, something else to do. and I feel better too, the mind set? GIVING, and a small ministry in itself.

I agree - I was obsessed last year and had BEAUTIFUL flowers! My Zinnias were CRAZY beautiful - I didnā€™t plant this year! IT was SO much work - but it was fun to watch. Maybe next year.
