I Wtk What Is Your Favorite Word

My Favorite Is .....

By: 1Booklover510
Written on February 2nd, 2013
RELAX said very softly and calmly along with the word breathe, (that's how I imagined it being said).  Fairly recently I was going through a stressful week and one of my friends basically told me to sit back, relax and breathe--and then proceeded to take me on a beautiful virtual trip to several  countries, describing everything in detail that we would see.   It did the trick and I was able to relax and get my bearings again and unwind successfully.   I saved the words and have read them again a couple of times when I need to relax and breathe, just imagining the words being spoken softly and gently and soothingly.   *smiles*

      Thank you. It was very wonderful when it actually happened to me. The very nicest thing that has ever been done for me.

      Sounds like it was a very special gift...given to one most deserving of it.

      Well I don't know about the deserving part -not going to toot my own horn- but it indeed was a very very special gift, the kind that keeps on giving because whenever I feel stressed or have the blues I just read the words once again and I start to relax a bit, :-)

    Nicely said. Thanks for posting that. It's good for all of us to remember to relax and breathe when the stress gets us nuts.

      You ain't kiddin'...relax and breathe are the last things we remember when we're stressed. It's good to have caring friends who "get" us.
