I was writing in my journal yesterday morning and it occured to me that I didn’t really have anything to say. I started reading over past journal entries. Seems like I’m always on the go, my mind is constantly active, I have a list of things to do on a daily basis that leaves little time for just sitting quietly. I also realize that I don’t get outside much. I walked to my garden to get a lemon and the sun hit my face and it felt good. I looked at the garden my husband has created with all the fresh vegetables and herbs and realized I contributed nothing to it. I’m indoors all the time with either my work, cleaning house, doing laundry, catching up on paperwork. I’ve nearly forgotten what the outdoors feels like.
So yesterday afternoon Joe and I drove to Keokea and walked along one of my favorite roads on the island. We packed a picnic, sat on a blanket and watched the sun set over Maalea Harbor.
Do you take time for yourself? What do you do to relax? How do you like to unwind? When was the last time you really did something just for you?
I know what you mean about relaxing. I never take time for myself. Always working or doing something for myself.
The last time I relaxed was when my daughter came. She stayed at the house and I took my grandchildren to the beach. We had a great time. Then we stopped in to Coldstone Creamery and had ice cream.
While I was at the beach, I just thought to myself, how fortunate I was to have the beach just minutes away but I never go.
I decided that at least once or twice a month I would go and just sit out on the beach or take a walk along the beach and be “free“.
So many people wish they had the enjoyment of the beach and I have it all....beachs and nice weather.
We must take time for ourselves.
Thanks for reminding me!!
When both of males are out of the house, I get my relax time. We are all going to the Caribbean next month for a month. All my familiy will be there. The most relaxed I ever get is sitting on my father’s porch with my mother overlooking the sea at sunset and having a rum punch or 3. 7 weeks to go for ultimate relaxation
Thank you Paris. I know what you mean about being near the beach. Let’s make a promise to do this more often!
You’ve got a deal!!!
Are you doing anything special with the chocolates for Mother’s Day?
I play a game on my computer everyday, I just get into the game and forget about everything for a while. And like you guys said, I should go to the beach more. I have a peak of it from my backyard, that’s how close it is...and yet, never think to go. The times I have gone is the most relaxing for me, I am a water sign and just hearing the waves crashing when I am on my back porch in the morning when its still dark relaxes me alot.
Nothing special, Paris, for Mother’s Day. Just the normal orders. Although, I did re introduce a spicy truffle I used to make several years ago. And I’m running a special on a gold box that I have too many of. Thanks for asking!
Relax? What’s that? 
The beach! I’m right there with you ladies.
and I could use some sand between my toes real bad.
