Flowers

The smell. The sight. The touch. Flowers are relaxing and rejuvenating. Did you have a tough day or rough week? A little treat for flowers can pick you up. Try it!

On a side note, most things have settled down here. I have family visiting and it's a huge blessing.

Listen

I enjoy listening to soothing sounds. Its calming and relaxing. Sometimes I can fall asleep to white noise. There are many trains here and at times it can be quite loud. I prefer when the train is further away in the distance.

Nature is full of wonderful sounds. Crickets can chirp so sweetly and it's easy to fall asleep to their music. Rain falling on the roof, waves crashing at the shoreline, and wind rustling the leaves are all good to listen to.

Music is something else I enjoy. I work well with music and it helps me stay relaxed.

Good attitude

Sometimes attitude is a decision and not a reflection of your surroundings. Positive thinking can keep you out of harms way. I know from experience that when I choose a good attitude, life goes a little smoother and troubles don’t phase me out.

My tips for choosing a good attitude include: good hair day, having a special drink, chatting with a friend, listening to a good song, and relaxing with a favorite hobby. How do you choose a good attitude?

Sail away

All stress floats away when on a sail boat cruising through the Greek islands. Its hard to believe I was there just a few short years ago.

I will be back on a yacht floating through fascinating places. This is the perfect life filled with relaxing naps, gentle waves, and time to do whatever puts me at ease.

Thank you Lord for creating the ocean, so I can relax on a yacht. Thank you Lord for the wind that takes the yacht from sweet island to sweet island. Thank you Lord.

Ode to the Weekend

O the Weekend is so fantastic and freeing. Much can be accomplished or absolutely nothing can be done. I decide how the Weekend goes.

O the Weekend has so much promise and full of enriching activities. If only there were three days in the Weekend instead of two. I could enjoy relaxing even longer.

Dear Congress, please create an Ode to the Weekend by instituting the three day Weekend instead of the old two day Weekend. Thanks.
