Oh I loved my salt water aquariums.Aquariums - I miss having one at home, but they are a lot of work and messy. Still, the sounds of the water and watching the fix (even though I had more aggressive ones) was really relaxing.
Baths - I miss the tub in our old house. It was one of those oversized jetted ones. It was so calming and relaxing. This house had tiny bathrooms and we could only fit a small jetted tub in the one, but it’s still nice.
Rain - As long as it’s not flooding rain, I love rain. I love gloomy skies and the smell of it. It’s very soothing.

They are either amazing successes,, or tragic failures.
We had a fantail Goldfish for years named of course,, Cleo:I always had freshwater. My last one was a breeding colony of African cichlids. I’ve always wanted a saltwater tank, but triggers are my favorite. While I understand that they are pretty resilient tank occupants, they aren’t known for playing well with others. One day…maybe.
Music for kind people:3 Calming Things I am grateful for:
1. I found these “healing” videos with a particular frequency on YouTube when I was going through my cancer treatment. I don’t know if they helped heal anything, but I find them very calming, and that certainly helps!
2. Lately I’ve been listening to piano versions of Disney tunes. Very calming, especially while I am doing bills or other fun stuff like that.
3. I make up simple mantras while I breathe slowly to counteract my anxious thoughts. It doesn’t help during a panic attack, but it does help when my mind is too noisy and needs to settle down.
my seats do that cooling thing and I’m like heck NO I’ll be sitting going why am I so cold??? I’m the only person in the world that will run heated seats in the summer!!! I do not ever run the cooling!!! Even when the car is like 1000° nope I’m good!!
