Music & Mood for me 🀣

In good weather, I love going for a hike in the forest. The Japanese call it forest breathing, and it is akin to meditation. The smells, the air, the flora and fauna surrounding me, this stillness and the peace, they all bring me such serenity.
If I am at home and cannot go out to do that, I will watch a cartoon/anime, something funny to make me laugh and smile and giggle. Or I will chat or call a friend. There's nothing like friend to remind yourself that you are loved. Nothing like a friend to feel grateful.
