Last night, in my “Coping and Healing” therapy group, somebody suggested we focus on the topic of “Renewal.”
I asked, “What helps give you a sense of renewal?” The answers included:
- Spring
- Gardens
- Trees
- Being near large bodies of water
- Nature
- Animals
- Group
- Travel
- Friends
- Showers
- Good books
- Good films
- The movie Arrival
- Running
- Good memories
- Being in the moment
- Sleep
- Dogs
- Cats
- Taking action
- Humor
- Art
- Telling stories
- Listening to other people’s stories
- Mindfulness
- Church
- Prayers
- Music
Speaking of music, here‘s the first thing that comes up on YouTube for “renewal”:
What renews you?
I didn’t mention “blogging” last night at the group, but this blog gives me renewal, every day.
Do you see renewal in any of my other photos from yesterday?
Did you know that comments from my readers are another personal source of renewal?
Every day, I renew my gratitude for all who help me create this daily blog and — of course! — for you.
