Re: Word for the Day - Comfort or Play
Yep @Appleblossom. Water we are. We know that when we didn’t do enough pelvic floor exercises and some leaks whenever we sneeze or laugh or...or....or 😂
Water is calming for me. I love watching waves crashing. I also love when it’s very still and looks like glass. At one of my fave places (an almost spiritual place) you cant hear anything else except the huge roar of the ocean and the sea spray hitting your face feels invigorating to me.

I love listening to the rain, watching water flow in nature, & meditating to the sounds of running water in nature.

Re: Word for the Day - Comfort or Play
We love living near a creek (but it's hard to relax with your feet in the water due to mozzies!) and I've loved swimming since I was a kid. Preferably in a natural waterway. I'm not fond of chlorine.
But right at this moment, my favourite water would be a relaxing hot bubby bath. Regretfully, ours is a little half length hip bath, so I'll have to keep on dreaming.

Re: Word for the Day - Comfort or Play
I walk two minutes across a busy highway from my front door, and find the Pacific Ocean. As I cross over in my jaywalking way, I am careful of the real sharks on that road: those cars are more dangerous than the seafaring kind. Then, in stark contrast, an open expanse of water and sky, meeting at distant horizon. I drink in the shifting colours of waves: deep blue and green through to shimmering aqua. When I walk on the beach, I go barefoot, with feet in the shallows. It keeps me cool in this warm climate, is refreshing, caressing.
I love rain too, preferably without thunder and lightning. Sometimes when it rains, I go out beyond the cover of my courtyard, to feel the drops falling on me for a while. Having no car, I usually stay at home on a day drenched in rain. A steady downpour over hours makes me feel safe and wrapped up in a soothing coccoon. The soft white noise drowns out the harsh sounds of busy daytime, and I feel peaceful and protected from the hard-edged world. Sometimes I find rain brings emotional release, and I feel my heart moving in a healing way. Sometimes the rain brings me blessed tears. Sometimes it seems to cry for me.
Watery nature, the elixir of life.

TY Mazarita for what you described, as I lived it in my mind while reading it. You made me smile, & feel good.
