Feel Good Monday!! Today is the McKlinky Blog hop and the theme is to post something that makes you feel good!  For me it’s being by the water or seeing a picture of it!  It always makes me feel happy and at peace.  I went for a walk with my family on the beach yesterday and it was great!  Even on a cool day I love to be on the beach.  The kids love picking rocks and shells to bring home and paint!

I use the beach as an example for my kids as a place they can think of that is peaceful when they are angry or having a hard time.  It’s a good relaxation technique to use visualization.  When I asked my kids where their special place was they both had a water theme to it.  My son said “floating on a raft in the pool or at the beach” my daughter said on the “shore, by the beach”.  It’s good for kids (actually all of us) to have a place to imagine when we need to feel more relaxed.

Where is your special place?  What makes you feel relaxed?
