chicory...I thought you might like the hula dancers! I had a girlfriend, once, that took belly dancing lessons...for about 2years! I often thought about doing it myself..but I was just too busy (overextended) at the time.
She also practiced Buddism (she was irish, LOL). She was so much fun...I worked in the same building as her.
I know that there are some beautiful areas of countryside outside of your city. Maybe, you could steal away and spend some hours just communing with nature.
It might sooth your soul. I know it does mine.
Thank heavens, you can let it all hang loose for a while!!!
