Drinking the orange/apple/ginger juice every morning -
After two crazy hectic days, I noticed I hardly ate and I went to the toilet few times a day. I felt I lost my energy and my strength. I dropped my son at school and went to a local juice bar and bought myself a large smoothie.
I went back every morning for a week or so, the guy there new me by now and remembered my order, offering to add some boosters.
I felt that this small routine helped my to regain my strength and created a normal, everyday habit that made sense and help me feel normal even for few minutes throughout the day.
dried leaves - connect to the running and the jogging in the woods. Running by myself in parkland walk,
being able to do it alone. empowering.
Sea/ocean/beach - I was never very much into the beach. I didn't like going to the beach in TLV, not a big swimmer and had a friend who drawn in the sea so I'm pretty scared of it.
My empowering memory from the beach in TLV - going on a run from my house in TLV, going up Bugrashov street, and getting to the point when I can see the sea, it's a sweet moment, the run is quite in the beginning, almost 1KM in it but now I start to feel the run and tune into it.
Going to Whitstable-Herne bay and Margate with the kids, our first vacation alone - hotels, train, packing. before that we went to visit Israel twice and went one time to Scotland with my sister in law, but these vacation were family related, not alone. The Kent's sea shore vacation was our first one.
Muse - Muse were in my bucket list. Plug in baby is one of my favorite and uplifting songs for almost 20 years. I really wanted to see them in concert, but they played once in Reading and it was impossible me to get there. I saw they had a gig in London in London Stadium. In a confident moment I bought one ticket, it was quite expensive but I felt invigorate.
Some times after that I realize it will be a long gig and thought about maybe find someone to go with me. I use to go to most gigs with my partner. I decide to write a post in Israeli women FB group, asking if someone is going to the gig, I received few responses and went with the first one who responded who seemed nice. It was an unforgettable experience, the gig was fantastic, and it made me feel so good about myself, the music was amazing, I danced the whole time, I felt alive.
Few weeks afterwards, Muse announced they are having another gig in London (O2), this time we came prepare, we bought tickets together, they arrived at noon and I joined them and we were on the barrier, it was so amazing. beyond words.
Snoopy - Snoopy is my favorite. He always makes me smile, I collect Snoopy memorabilia since I was 12 or so. Last year on my 46th birthday I took the kids to see the Snoopy exhibition in Somerset house.
