Ladies, this morning I have to the house to myself. I will quickly clean up and start to enjoy solitude for a few hours. The guys will all arrive back from school and work around 3:00. I am going to enjoy some reading and a cozy quilt after a long hot bath. I must say I miss working and making money, but when I have a day without obligations like today, I am so thankful to a loving, providing God.
I have several friends that tell me they can't relax. They get bored reading, taking a bath, or being alone. I guess I am boring. I love and need people around me. I enjoy long talkative lunches and coffee breaks. I love going to the movies with girlfriends and of course shopping. However, quiet down time is such a welcomed indulgence. How do your relax, girl friends?
To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.
Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
No matter how much pressure you feel at work, if you could find ways to relax for at least five minutes every hour, you'd be more productive.

It's short post today. I may post later but for now I am off to the kitchen...dishes, yuck. I can't rest to the house is in order so I better get started. It helps me to serve my family better when I get a "me" break. I hope you will create so time for "you" today.
