I haven’t lit a candle in awhile, so I just did, and it made me feel so much better. It’s not going to solve the world’s problems, but the wonderful fragrance seemed to lift my mood. I should start doing that again once in awhile.
So what is it for you? A walk, the pool (@NJChicaa), a refreshing summer drink? A lemonade actually sounds good right now…

I used to light a candle while I was reading or watching a movie and my troubles just fell away.
A limeade does sound good but I'd have to go make it and I'm tired.

@DaddyEvil Now I’m craving both to compare!

@AmbiePam The older I get, the more limeade tastes better than lemonade. I have no idea why.

We are lighting candles at meals cause it seems to keep the flying pests away. What makes me feel good is finishing a project or tidying up a space.

I enjoy swimming, and a good book or movie. Candles are cool though. I like those as well

Some more ice cold tea, I keep a jug in my fridge and always make more when I need it also cold water with lemon. I don't light scented candles in this heat but do sometimes in the late autumn.

A candle does it for me too. My favourite ones are limoncello…..espresso martini…..and sugar plum ( that’s nice at Christmas time )

I love candles and incense, too. A fresh coffee, or an iced tea...a good book (and time to read it!) are all good feel good things. I love super soft fuzzy blankets, they always give me a good feeling, too.

Candles definitely lift my spirit. Also, music and swimming.

I like working in my word puzzle books...or having some ice cream (lactose free of course).
