I'm sitting on the couch drinking my evening cup of "happy tea."
I'm thinking about what it means to be happy.
I'm wondering if I have control over my own happiness.
Is my happiness determined by the chemicals in my brain or by my choices?
I've determined that a few things feed my soul--every time:
Tea
Sunshine
Laughter
Being active
Evenings in the City
Creating
The ocean
Lovin'
Good literature
Real mail
Babies and
Feeding people.
There will be times when the depression becomes a dark curtain that I can't find my way through. It's a part of who I am, and it will be a lifelong struggle for me. I know that.
Sometimes, though, I just need to ask myself, "Am I feeding my soul?"
I'm thinking about creating something, somewhere, in my home that will serve as a constant reminder of my "soul food." I'm having a hard time, however, of thinking of something that won't seem like a cheesy vision wall. I want it to follow good design so it's attractive to people other than me.
Suggestions?

How about something like this (http://www.potterybarn.com/products/arched-grid/?pkey=cwall-art) and then attach symbols of your soul food on it rather than the plants on the one in the link.
I'll keep thinking of ideas...
Cute, Kim.
This is a part of an exhibit at the Academy of Sciences. file:///Users/Sherry/Desktop/Quote.jpg
I had Roxanne take a picture of it because I thought the idea was cool/I could use it in my house somehow. Obviously, my quote wouldn't be about climate change. I though about doing this Oscar Wilde quote: "It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco.It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world," but I'm thinking I could use it with my soul food wall, somehow.
