Well once again I'm back to life as we know it. You know, the everyday things that we have to do ..... like go to work .... and if I don't then I won't have any money to live. Cleaning the house, organising life in general, making sure that the rubbish bin gets put out.... and the list goes on.
Funny how you take a week off from things, but when you come back the things that have to be done don't take a holiday from you. Interesting thought .... now wouldn't that be nice :-). But not to be. There is always something that needs attending too, no matter where you are and what you do.
It's nice to take a break from the riggers of life from time to time, but in reality life goes on. I have thought about this and how much I love to take a break; have a holiday and just do nothing. But then I think how boring that would be. How much I would hate it if I could just lay around doing nothing all the time. I know I wouldn't like that, I wouldn't enjoy it at all. Oh, I could read a book for a while, or go swimming at the beach, or laze around in an armchair and sleep away my life, but then ultimately I know I would become very bored and feel very lazy, which is not a good look in anyones mind.
So I've decided that in reality I actually like to be busy, but not so busy I can't stop to smell the roses once in a while. I think that is very important. We need to have balance in our lives. Without balance we become lop-sided.
My ideal way of relaxing is to lay in the shade in a hammock on a sunny day .... lay in the shade of a beautiful tree, grass underneath my feet. Not only to feel the warmth of the air, but to feel the coolness that I am afforded by the shade. I also love the feel of the rocking motion as I lay in the hammock .... it is a gentle soothing motion. Most importantly though I must have a book at hand so that I can read. Reading transports me into another dimention, another world, and takes me away from the stress of life.
