The Bow River? I'm about a block or 2 away from the Bow River. We'll have to do that together sometime!

The idea of an artist date sounds wonderful. I will have to think about this one.Connie Mae Inglishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988103819012472275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-26953120652086020412015-02-04T14:12:49.952-07:002015-02-04T14:12:49.952-07:00Breathing in, breathing out ... how important oxyg...Breathing in, breathing out ... how important oxygen is to our mind, body and soul.

I don't intentionally take artist dates, but I do feel refreshed after having spent time with my grandson :) , reading my bible, exercising, and time spent at the farm in the quietness and solitude. However, I will have to grab a couple writer friends an plan an artist date with them. <br />Thanks for the idea!<br />Pam fudge4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295705620837466292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-3958635527476513562015-02-01T18:25:53.664-07:002015-02-01T18:25:53.664-07:00Thank you for your thoughtful and inspiring commen...Thank you for your thoughtful and inspiring comments.

An important aspect, for sure, that I suspect most of us tend to neglect. Shallow breathing is just not healthy. I look forward to this month's posts, to find new ideas to oxygenate my creative soul.

A few years ago I experienced "burnout" as a result of neglecting myself. I love your expression of <br />Artist's Dates". There is a water body near where I live. all I have to do is walk across the highway and I can watch eagles, ducks and geese. I can view the surrounding mountains and wonder at the creation around me. I guess my walks are an example of an artist date. Thank you so much for this life-giving reminder. This post in itself is an inspiration!<br />Alan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192838076987472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-88877466575020854422015-02-01T08:28:20.117-07:002015-02-01T08:28:20.117-07:00Such an important thing to do.

Another, not quite so poetic, is driving to work in the early morning hours. The roads are empty, soft music on the radio, and my mind is free to let go of concentrated thought and, as you say, take in Oxygen! I'm going to have to be more conscious of this. Great post, Sandi.
