Day 10: My Favorite Blue Mind Movie

Image
Hi Everyone... Ahhhh...I think this is my FAVORITE water movie!!! Really, I have 3 movies that tie for #1 as my all time favorite movies! Want to make a guess on what the other 2 are? Put it in the comments...give you a week & then I'll put the other two in the comments as well. I think the movies people like tells you a lot about their personality don't you?! :-) On Golden Pond came out in the theaters on Dec 4, 1981. I was almost 17 yrs old and in the middle of my Jr year in high school. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this film, but man it is a lot. Just the first few notes of this music makes me relax sooooo much! I have the CD and the movie. It is just a TOTALLY Beautiful movie! Nature including the water and the Loons of course, the music, the characters and plot. Even the behind the scenes dynamics is also a part of it. Watch the extras...interview with Jane Fonda on what Katherine Hepburn told her etc. :-) Ahhh I think I'll have to watc...

Day 9: The Shedd Aquarium

Image
Hi Everyone... One of the places I LOVE to go to Turn My Blue Mind On is the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. It is still closed due to COVID and I'm not sure really when it will be open & when I will feel comfortable going there but "someday" I'll be back relaxing and watching the fish, penguins, Belugas, sting rays, jellies etc. :-) 

Day 8: Fox River

Hi Everyone... These pictures are from fun family times on the Fox River. We had an annual picnic there for one of my dad's business organizations. Sooo many fun times over the years. We would ride the Ferry, soaking up the sun and water and laugh etc. Play games, feed the geese, play mini golf and there was a public pool there as well that we would go to sometimes. Now, my nieces in these pictures...they are now 29 yrs old & soon to be 23 yrs old! HA! I actually have a new niece who is 3 months old now! YEP! I don't know if they still have these picnics?? We have not gone in many years. This year they would probably cancel it with COVID, but I'll have to see for next year because man it was just a great place to Turn Your Blue Mind On!!!

Day 7: More Fishies!

Image
Hi Everyone... Here is another place I Find My Water and Turn My Blue Mind On! This is my brother's fish tank with his Neon fish and two of his Plecostomus fish. I don't know what he feeds them but man do they get big! :-) Maybe Milk...inside joke HA! The girls and the boys each had tanks in their rooms when we were little. One day my folks went into my brother's room and the tank was all white and they had no idea what happened. My brother said he gave the fish his milk because he thought they might be thirsty. HA! Actually, it makes perfect cognitive sense for that developmental age. :-) I love watching fish! We all know they bring our blood pressure down. When I was growing up I had a goldfish I won in 2nd grade by throwing the ping pong ball in the bowl. Well that fish lived until I was in college. My brother's took care of it for me when I left for college. It was in a tank all by itself by then, huge fanned tail and I swear either it was sleeping...

Day 6: I'm Heading To The Mall!

Image
Hi Everyone... No, I was not in the mall lately...in fact these are from last summer & I never got them posted. Ya, how dead the mall looks it could be now with COVID, but our mall has suffered losing some anchor stores etc so not doing well but that is ok...I go to Find My Water & Turn My Blue Mind On! :-) 

Day 5: Bringing the Ocean To Me

Image
Hi Everyone... Well I thought I would show you a bit of how I get my Blue Mind Turned On! :-) I do not live near an ocean and I do not get to visit one very often. I think the last time I saw one was over 20 yrs ago...sniff...sniff so I try to bring the ocean feeling to me a bit. These pix are from my bedroom. Yes, Ocean Themed with a dab of lavender in there, my previous color. I do put some seasonal/holiday at times in there, but starting next week (World Oceans Week) and the rest of the summer it is full Ocean theme. :-) So here are two of my little fishies. I created the ladder decorations and I know "Starfish" but guys it is like 40 yrs old. I got it when I was a young teenager I believe in FL when we were not that socially conscious about this as a society and I was not about to throw it away...I'd rather have its death have a purpose of relaxing me and know it did not die for nothing. :-)

Day 4: Blue Mind for the Birds!

Image
Hi Everyone... Please excuse the peeling deck and what the birds left behind. HA!  I wanted to show you that even my Birds are celebrating 100 Days of Blue! :-) I love each day emptying their BLUE bowl and refilling it for them. I love watching them drink from it. It makes me feel so RELAXED & HAPPY!
