Hi everyone,

This is a thread I thought might be a helpful form of relaxing, for both writing your very own virtual fantasy peaceful escape from our busy lives..Maybe you just need to sit back, read and relax or maybe you want to go on your virtual fantasy escape and put it in here for other to read or join you...

Please give it a go, you might find it a great distraction from negative thoughts, as I do..and others can escape with you.

I started walking into the tunnel, looking around, the ceiling and sides were covered with tiny little bright pink,yellow and darkest blue tiniest flowers you could imagine, the ground was of the darkest, thickest, greenest grass, so soft I take my shoes off and feel the cool refreshing grass under my feet and between my toes, so relaxing as I continue walking towards the sun rays I can see up ahead...lol my feet are green from the softness and greenness of the grass.

Out through the other end of the tunnel, I'm greeted by, a brilliant sky of orange, purple, and clouds of the deepest greyish red, a sun that's setting in the distance..I stand and take in the beauty of the sky, a feeling of serenity passes through me...Walking further ahead I come across the same thick carpet of lush cool green grass, feeling serene and grounded I continue until I come to a small waterfall, that falls into a crystal clear lake with tiny brightly coloured butterflies flying around, they are beckoning me to enter the lake. On entering the lakes crystal clear water I head towards the waterfall, there I sit in the water with the gentle waterfall cascading onto my head, down my back, the feeling of the water running down me is just pure relaxation, the water surrounding my body is so cool and refreshing yet peacefully relaxing..I stay there it's to good to move, then I see the Butterflies flying around me, dropping tiny little sachets into the water the water becomes bubbly, bubbles of lavender scent , as the waterfall hits the water the bubbles are multiplying so much that they start to tickle my skin..The scent of the bubbles begin to make me feel sleepy..relaxed....

My eyes lids are so heavy, they want to close, slowly they close, as they do a gentle breeze blows, and I can here the tranquil sounds of wind chimes in the background so peaceful so gentle the sound, the sounds fading deeper and deeper into the background..my body, my mind is relaxed beyond belief as I slowly drift off into a peaceful, tranquil,deep sleep..

Grandy.

Amidst multiple shapes and sized ornaments the soft Pink heart shaped ballons have sweet/without sugar 🤤tasty surprises inside. They gently pop in your mouth after a gorgeous feel good sweet or tangy taste

The tinsy rain drops with ever so slowly floating multi colour of choice glitter specs, that Sapphire 💙 blue it's striking, peacefully glide around the tree.

Above pure snow White stars glow giving a sense of peace and mystery

Theres something magical about colour, especially at Xmas the shiny Silver tinsel, sparkling Gold earthy Green holly the winsy perfect round Red berries, colour can create pleasant harmless feelings of safety when observed.

Everything is edible here, one guess what the dominant flavour is 😂

Scattered peppercorns sit on the tips of a Lavender scented (giving a calming peaceful energy) glorious Ivy which is draped gently throughout our tree which in itself has an ultimate peace about. Majestic

From the heart of the peppercorns a warmth spreads through your being as you 👀at each individual one a slow gentle glow grows in soft shades of Purples Orange & Yellow.

😀 the baubles have 3D life image holograms of every amazing person here & in your life that's give/n you love appreciation, made you feel good especially about yourself. The memories carry happiness and security without pain

Oh oh 😆..👀 these pulsate with a feel good colour & like they're saying.. take me so of course I did and behold...little tricky to rip open..oh you're kidding...can't believe it...🥁drum roll please Mr music... 🍫CHOCCCYYYY..yes yelling ...we just entered heaven 😲(mouth open to inhale in one gulp)

Xmas being about care and share for the poor unfortunate people that 🤤don't like choccy 😲...really? 😉 see those winsy prezzies hanging off the tree on savoury string... there's a single cashew/peanut and tinsy bags of chippies that when you open turn into a bottomless size of choice

Hello everyone....🤗..

“Fun in the rain and muddy puddles”....rain and 🌧 puddles.

A sight to behold, while I’m sitting on my veranda as medium heavy rain washes the earth clean in my area....4 little sparrows flew towards the puddling water..Awe I thought they must be thirsty for pure water...

No not thirsty,,but dirty..They tucked their tiny legs up under them and laying on their bellies started flapping their wings and rolling around in the muddy water puddle...after a few minutes they flew into the big old Gumtree...I’m looking intensely to see where they are perched...but couldn’t see them..first a bath, now a shower..they’ll be so clean and fresh..

Then I heard some squawking from cockatoos...looking up to the power lines, there they were lots of them..all in a row...a few were hanging upside by their claws..flapping their wings madly getting a lovely rain shower...Nature looks after her own..very well...

Looking around everyone was inside..so I thought woohoo...my turn...I slowly walked down the veranda steps..every tiny bit of rain that landed on me was freezing...I quickly ran inside to get my rain boots on...as my yard was puddling up fast. and I put them on, then puddle fun for me...

Jump, jump, splashing each time..brought a smile to my face..remembering how much I loved playing in the rain as a child...then I started kicking the puddled water in the air..so much fun....until I slipped, and slides and ended up sitting in the puddle covered in mud..but laughing so hard because I couldn’t get up....

My dogs are standing on the veranda with a look in their eyes that says..our mummy’s crazy...Thank goodness I gated the steps so they couldn’t join me..

After what seemed like hours and hundreds of eyes on me I finally got up..cold, wet, muddy, which I ended up dripping wet sloshy mud as I walked cautiously into the house....over I went again I could feel me slipping so I grabbed the kitchen bench...and went down slowly...falling onto the kitchen floor..this time my dogs decided...mummy is having fun they barked then they joined me..and started jumping and playing with me..now there all muddy and running around the house making lots of muddy paw prints...

No birds..dogs..or humans were hurt...then I woke up..

Grandy....

Hello everyone

I have a question about creativity and writing?

Does anyone still write stories etc with pen and pap[er or does everyone do all writing on computer.

I am reading a book about discovering creativity after middle age. each day you write first thing in morning by hand as the author says it gives one more connection with ones words.

I find it a struggle to do handwriting as my writing is almost illegible and I my hands get sore. I have read other creative courses say to write by hand. Am I the odd one out that I find writing so hard by hand.

Hello Quirky...

I write by hand..I have this problem though..my pen is quicker then my mind... and seems to get slippery on the paper and makes scribble more then writing....because I don’t have a printer..I still do most f my writing by hand..and it is very slow...

Last year I bought a calligraphy set that came in to work..complete with different size nibs and ink refills..I tried using that...and enjoyed the way the letters came out..

I use the calligraphy pens when I’m writing out something special in my diary that is for poems, quotes and things I read here that help me..

Care, love and hugs....

Grandy..

i mean i do get where they come from when they say writing by hand can be therapeutic and refreshing compared to stomping out a keyboard but if its a struggle to handwrite and extremely inaccessible for you, you don't particularly need to? make the adjustments you need - and honestly if this is a habit you're trying to build and you're associating "getting in the mood to write" with "putting my hands in pain bc these courses and books say i won't be finely tuned" then you'll probably be dreading writing. like i'm developmentally delayed my motor skills are awful i remember being seven eight nine ten and getting work back marked as "i can't mark this i literally can't read it". i can handwrite more legibly in japanese than latin lettering. plus i just like writing stories on a word doc rather than paper because my brain hates writing in sequence. i can put in square brackets on this line the basic rundown on what happens and write lavishly on something out of order THEN come back to write better there. i dont know if its more me than what i was jabbering about accessibility but... man, if writing is hard by hand you dont need to do it
