Considering what has been going on in politics recently, I’d say we all could use as much distraction as we can get. I’ve been changing the images on the digital art display on my dining room wall at least once a day, so that I can at least pretend to be somewhere far away from it all. At the moment, it has an image of Lake Havasu at the Grand Canyon to brighten up the room.

Have you been doing anything fun for a virtual escape? If so, feel free to post about it in the comments. (And, of course, make sure to vote anyway!)

Today I felt like walking in a labyrinth to calm my mind and untangle my thoughts. The weather has been roasting hot, though, and I haven’t had much energy the past few days. So instead, I browsed through photos of labyrinths and their gardens online. Here’s one image that gave me a very peaceful feeling: it’s a garden at the Parc del Laberint d’Horta in Barcelona.

I uploaded the photo to my library for the digital art display on my dining room wall, which is at window height and makes it easy to imagine that I’m traveling to beautiful, exotic places. Definitely calming! Still not quite sure how many of my thoughts got untangled, as it has been the kind of week that feels as if I’ve got a virtual kitten running around in my head playing randomly with balls of yarn. But for now, at least it feels like I’m traveling in the right direction!
