Probably belongs on the general chat... but the point I am really trying to make is that I really needed this. We all sense the knife's edge that our country is on, and we each need to find that thing that grounds us and nourishes us. Live music, especially blues, does it for me... that and some Whistle Pig 10yr on the rocks.
Enjoy, Frens. Do your thing. Reenergize. Share here what you do. Let's get some positive vibes going (beyond the winning).
I have several activities that keep my vibration up but one thing sticks out for me. It probably won’t mean much to guys 🤣 but it was a good moment for me. About a year ago, I visited my daughter in NC and we went to the mall in Raleigh. All of our malls are giant shells of empty stores where I live. My childhood is just a memory now but that mall was booming! Food court full and stores I miss from my past. It was bittersweet. I felt like we were in a better time from the past for a few hours. Holiday shopping with my mom, grandma, and aunts and just hanging out as a teen.
I hope we can get some of that back. I love a good time with friends, good music and good drinks. And I know that probably wasn’t where you were going with this but I felt like sharing. Peace my friend.
I love that memory, thanks. We had an annual tradition of shopping for the Christmas family gift exchange, and then getting dinner together. That past can be recreated if we are creative. Thank you.
