for hungover and stressed people

Here's a tip for all you kids out there. When you're hungover, it's best to stay as still as possible. Do not attempt any big movements, or you risk incurring the wrath of your body. Television is obviously the easiest way to cultivate stillness, but don't watch anything that would tax your brain too much. Mental stillness is just as important as physical stillness. I think I heard that in yoga class once. But even if you're not hungover, you might be stressed from the holidays and the recession and the question of what to have for dinner tonight. This post will help you as well.

In honor of stillness and the strive for inner peace, today's Picture of the Day is meant to be very calming. It's a picture I took when I was on vacation in Oregon, at a place called The Grotto. It's a Catholic shrine and botanical garden, and if you go, you can see statues of all your favorite characters from the Bible, assuming that your favorite characters from the Bible are Mary, Joseph and Jesus. You can also see a cross that was blessed by a Pope and a replica of Michelangelo's Pieta. But if religious imagery isn't your thing, you can also just enjoy the beautiful Oregon outdoors. I think it is best to go when it is raining. A good way to follow up your trip to the Grotto is by going to a nickel arcade. At least, that's how I did it.
