  • How I relax

    How do you relax?

    I start by putting away my mobile & shutting off the TV. Then I grab a book & start reading. Right now it’s The Let Them Theory & I really like it.

    I also find it relaxing when we go on our Sunday walks with our dogs around the lake by our house. Listening to the quiet of the woods & talking about whatever topic comes to mind.

    I find doing laundry soothing & sorting & starting the machine. Knowing the clothes will come out clean at the end of it.

    Another way I relax is by journaling in my personal journal, where I write about whatever is on my mind. I find it a great stress relief to journal.

    How do you disconnect from our current global discontent?

  • Reading to improve my outlook

    How are you feeling right now?

    I’m currently reading a bunch of books but what I’m most excited about is “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins. It talks about the stresses of modern life & how to NOT hold to them or take them personally.

    It makes me feel better about myself & my own situation. Let Them talk about all those things you don’t always want to say out loud. The feelings you have et cetera.

    The last 2 years I’ve been plagued by health issues & tests. I’m finally starting to get answers to those questions but it’s been a Long road. Hence, I feel pretty okay at the moment but a huge question still lingers & that’s what I’m worried about.

    My vacation was great! I went above the arctic circle to visit friends & family. It cheered me up & I finally got to reconnect with a good friend of mine. For a week I ate good food & had a good week. Coming home wasn’t a let down but I’m getting really sick of the cruise ships.

    Right now I’m feeling grateful & in a good mood. It’s almost the weekend that helps too!

  • We went down under

    Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

    Ten years ago now we traveled to Australia in the beginning of their Spring. We flew into Sydney & then flew to the coast to Cairns. We spent a few days at the coast & the rainforest then flew to Darwin.

    From Darwin we drove down to Alice Springs, a place I had fallen in love with as a young reader. We stopped by Uluru State Park & saw the rock & learned the history behind it. Alice Springs was wonderful right in the center of Australia.

    Then we flew back to Sydney & then back home. It was a 14 hour flight but well worth it!
