I love to take walks now that it is finally warmer.

And when it is really warm, i love to go sit in a lawn chair and read a book!

Maybe we can give everyone some new ideas!

" The best way for me to de-stress is to do yoga or to go in a quiet place and listen to some soothing music and just free my mind. I also enjoy going to the mall and shopping as a way to release. "

" i have started making scarfes for the up coming winter..i cant afford buying them flat out cause the ones i like are like 30 dollars..i find it cheaper to just make them..plus it eases my stress..i also go right at the cool of the day and sit by the swimming pool and read a good book..i go on walks with my dog "Fuzz". he is my guard dog. i just learned that he will run with me if i like too..i think thats cool..
even though my kids are grown i find nothing better to ease my stress like thier laughter..i love thier laughter.
i love watching "whos line is it anyway"..i laugh so hard my stress just melts away. :) "

" i enjoy just taking my dog on little walks around our house and my neighbors. It relaxes me and tires the dog.
i also like to listen to slow country music. I relax as Alan Jackson sings his long lonesome songs. "

" I write music and poetry... here is one of my poems.. enjoy

Sun & Ocean

The sun crosses the sea in this morning
You first see its rays of light touching the waves as it comes to you
You feel the warmth hit your face and clear your mind
You feel the warmth enter into your body and warm it from within.

You are the rays of light
The light, in the light.
Where do you think you have to go? "
