    • Hug

      From princessbrat August 20

      I now call those times I do that "staring between the leaves on a tree." ive done that since very small child, was called then "daydreaming" acctually it is a now known as a form of my mind taking a break, your brain does so much for you night and day. once in awhile it needs to rest, so you can hear all around you as you sit but you mind is queit. Its something that people try to do, pay money to learn how to do, i think now nothing bad of it, its my way to let my brain take a well deserved break.
