So, the other day my new shrink was trying to teach me some anxiety management/relaxation techniques, and asked me to visualize a place where I felt calm and safe. I totally blanked. Couldn't think of a damn place. Not sure what that means.

Next time I'll use the Sculpture Garden in the American Wing of the Met. Strange it didn't come to me at the time. . . .
stiles:
I'd nominate the screen porch of our house in the Pines in jersey. Very relaxing, quiet, old house that looks the same now as it did when it was built in the 1920's.

Once, on a trip to Big Bear Lake, I spent a warm afternoon laying in a meadow right next to the lake. This photo, which I ripped off the internet because I don't have any pics of the trip, shows the exact meadow in question. It's what I generally think of when I need to think of something calm and relaxing.

Pay no attention to the random college student on vacation from whom I snagged the pic.
