@amiablePeace77. One of my most favorite activities is taking my dogs for a ride in the car. I love watching their ears flap in the wind, and their happy expressions. 😊
@yzzil
I hear you, it looks so cute - my dogs loved it too! 😃
@yzzil awww cute ❤
@amiablePeace77

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
You're taking great care of your well-being! 👍
@amiablePeace77
What is your way of having fun? crafts
What can you do today or this week to have fun? Get rid of this bad cold😊
@WorkingitThrough2
Sends over a big packet of freshly grounded ginger to make ginger tea. I love doing craft projects too! What was your last craft project, have you done anything recently?
@amiablePeace77
Thanks, Ami, I don't have fresh ginger but I have powdered ginger and sage, red pepper and onions, and honey with slices of lemons that I made tea to drink. So far It clears me up for a good while then evening comes and my symptoms come right back.
Craft projects I am working on are all in the art and crafting Forum. Even got my homemade kitchen island in the DIY area here😊
Ami and @Soul, I just want to say thank you for your compassionate ways and for being good leaders
You are both so dedicated and supportive of us❤️
@WorkingitThrough2 glad you are finding some relief from your symptoms.
Thank you for all your kind words and continued support in the forums. You really participate a lot.
@WorkingitThrough2 awww hugs your cold away.❤ From a safe distance 😁❤
@Tinywhisper11
Tiny, you make me smile🌞
@amiablePeace77
What is your way of having fun? I am redefining what fun means. To me I am trying to find contentment. I do enjoy Tai Chi and Yoga.
What can you do today or this week to have fun? The discussions were fun and a person PMd me and that was fun.
@soulsings tai chai? Is that like karate?
@Tinywhisper11 hi good question. Karate is a martial art that is done at full speed.
Tai Chi is an energy exercise that is done in slow motion.
Here is a way to practice in a simple exercise that can be done sitting. Let your arms rest on your lap or hang down freely so they are pointing toward the floor. Raise them up toward the wall in front of you very slowly slowly inhaling in the belly if possible.
As you lower your arms very slowly exhale slowly and return the arms to the starting position.
Repeat as you wish. I find this helps to calm my mind and my body. If interested PM me and I can describe other motions that can be done with the arms while sitting.
@soulsings. I like this . I may try tonight.
@adventurousBranch3786 let us know how this goes
@soulsings I have to be careful what exercises I do, cause I could easily damage my back more. But that does sound fun ❤. I actually have slow gentle stretches and exercises that my carers do with me every morning. The doctor gave me them to do 😁
@amiablePeace77 haha! What is that giraffe doing😂😂😂 it's so cute😂😂😂
What is fun for me is going down hill♿♿♿♿weeeeeeeee!😂😂
I have fun when I listen to the old folks here talking about their lives. And when I get to share a smile on 7 cups. Waking up early mornings with my bunny crawling on my face. I find it fun to be in the garden. Our garden is huge and enclosed so prettt and I can spot squirrels and see the birds.art is fun and learning is fun. I find fun in all the small things
@Tinywhisper11
Please be careful when going downhill! 😮 Don't want you to get hurt!
I find learning and watching animals fun too! There is so much to appreciate in life but focusing on the small things instead of the big ones is a deep gratitude to me, nice you do this.
@amiablePeace77 dw I'm always careful. And yep I set my wheelchair on fire 🔥 now I have hot wheels 😎 I go extra fast ♿♿♿ weeeeeeee! 😁 and yes gotta make the little things count.
@amiablePeace77 My way of having fun is going outdoors with friends.
Today I can go shopping or find a new place to eat.
@Tiadesai
Sounds great! What is your favorite type of restaurant?
@amiablePeace77 I like to go to Farmers Market, festivals, listen to music, coffee shops!

I have fun by finding reasons to laugh. In fact, I'm laughing as I type this. 🤣
@greenPineapple1998
You made me smile whilst I was reading your post! 😀 I think the best way to have fun is when we create it ourselves. 👍
