What Do You Do To Relax?

We all need some down time (away from work, away from the kids, etc.). What relaxes you? To me I am too cheap to go on a vacation every year, but if I could, I guess that is how I would relax. For me, a nice 75 degree day at home and I would wake up to have a long visit from the butterflies. We have different plants, etc. in our small yard that attract butterflies. If you go out to some of the bushes around 7:30 AM, I can just stand there and they will fly around me. Then I would go sit on the deck and take pictures of birds and once in a while get a quick glimpse of a hummingbird. Those days my wife and I sit outside and talk and we might play with our laptops for a bit, but we will usually cook and eat outside. These days are never planned, but they just end up happening. That is a relaxing day. What relaxes you?

In the summer I swim everyday that I can. I love being in the water.

i just lock myself up in my room and lie in bed. just lie and think of happy thoughts or listen to my favorite music. sometimes i bring coffee to enjoy while watching a movie.

I just posted how stressed I've been but your post just reminded me of what makes me feel good and that can help me relax. I sit on the deck over looking the pines and pastures. Sometimes light up the BBQ.

Drawing, listening to music, and reading relaxes me.
