Relaxing

Oh my goodness, where to start with relaxing.

I love to become wrapped up in a great book. Even better on a cold rainy day when you can crawl under a blanket, a cup of coffee or tea beside you and just immerse yourself in another world, another persons journey be it fiction or non fiction. While the sound of rain hits the roof, the fresh and cleansing smell it brings with it and the dimness to the day.

Sitting outside, as I am right now with my 3 dogs, writing, dreaming, imagining. The wind is cool, it is peaceful and quiet except for the birdsong around me.

Watching a really good series on TV. One that engages you from the start and you just keep hitting next when the episode ends. Or an old faithful series that has been running for years and the characters feel like family or friends.

Sitting on the beach, walking along the beach, or even just having a front row view of it from a balcony unit. The smell, the slight stick of salt upon your skin, the sound of the waves crashing into shore. Mother nature at it's best.

Being away in our caravan with our old girl. Journeying to somewhere new or somewhere familiar and comfortable. Getting away from it all to just have the simplicity of what you have right in front of you and not a houseful of work.

Lying in bed, headphones on, listening to all my favourite music. Shut off from everything around me, just for awhile.
