I guess it's not something that most of us really give much thought to . Unless we're STRESSED AS HELL! The reality is that in these fast paced times where everything is urgent, needed asap, or just plain hectic, we forget to relax. I mean, really relax, to the point where nothing is entering your mind. You're not worried about the kids,family members, car payments, bills. Just enjoying you.
Yup, I can see most of you now saying "does this guy know me"? No, but I know that for most of us any type of stress these days brings about a feeling of being drained and tired. It's become part of the world we live in. Remember those old Calgon,take me away commercials?
After years of working my fingers to the bone in New York, I'm enjoying a far greater peace of mind. I'm living my pre-retirement years. One of the places I do that the best is in my home! Yes, for most home can be stressful too, because you can't really escape some situations. I'm blessed that my spouse and I have always enjoyed each other's company. He and I have been together for 21 years. Yes, there was a lot of stress sometimes, but only because of family situations. One day I'll write about it. For now I can say that life is relatively relaxed and stress free (albeit with the occasional hiccup).
Of all the places I find relaxing, this part of my living room is my chill spot. I love being able to read a book or just call my little one's (my two Chiweenies) to me. Even just looking at the sun coming through the window, or looking out at the pool a few feet away, is calming.
Do you have a favorite chill spot that you call your own? You can tell me about it below or even better... post a photo too!
Here's to a relaxing evening!
