Relaxing

There comes a time when it is just time to relax! To set aside the "to-do" list and to pick something that refreshes and encourages my soul.

My "pick-me-up" list:
  • sitting in the sunshine, even a sunny window
  • a warm bath
  • a heart-warming movie
  • quiet conversation
  • dry-brush painting
  • piano playing- the the oldies I wrote years ago
I've watched my kids over the years do some of these same things to cope with stress and discontent. Lovely music, deep conversation, a favorite blanket wrapped around their bodies while they watch a movie, calmly painting a picture in their own "signature" style, etc.

What do you do to relax?

...He leads me beside quiet waters... Psalm 23:2.
