CommentsWent to Starbucks, to relax and have a good cup of coffee. Anything is better than the slop they serve at Him Tortoons . A strong cup of coffee is needed, one that wakes up every pore in your body and gives your head a shake. Second Cup offers a great supply of this wonderful nectar also. No! I am not promoting these 2 places, I just want strong coffee and very few places offer it.
Today was a great day for relaxing here, the sun was out, the wind was calm and the people here were not noisy. I needed a quiet moment to write my Oct article. But I must confess, the topic was escaping me.
My remote control sailing season has come to a close, and the weather has become unpredictable. Well that should not be a surprise, look at the weather situations around the world. So what does a person do to relax? I decided to look into the matter of relaxation or how to relax.
Chapters offers information by the multitude, like magazines, books and videos. Some magazine tout, that your can relax by exercising. Well if that worked, then our population would be relaxed and fit. So far your have to really convince me. We are one of the most overweight populations in the world. Maybe we relax as couch potatoes!
Another form of relaxation is to travel. Okay I buy that, but our political climate dictates That travel to unsecured areas of the world will and could be hazardous to our health. Okay I spend money to travel, get stressed crossing the borders, worry about my money, worry about the water and wonder if my healthcare will cover me. Sure, after having your relaxing vacation, you come home to your same rut and add up your expenditures. No l am not a doom gloom seer, l just observe what happens after this relating vacation.
Okay lets relax, another way, try reading a good book or magazine over a nice cup of strong coffee. Fiction allows us to explore new places, people, creatures and moods. This form of relaxation is utilized by my girlfriend every night. I prefer reading computer magazines. Am I relaxed reading no, I am just more informed. So I will explore another form of relaxation, computer games.
Yes, good old, basic, twitch games. The pseudo adrenalin rush, the pounding of your heart when you are under attack by rebel forces, is my current form of relaxation. My game of choice is Joint Operations. By the number of people on-line, in the 1000’s , means other like to relax in this manner. But do not become obsessed, your life will suffer.
I know that there many many wonderful ways to relax, choose several to keep your life interesting. And along the way, invite others to share a relaxing moment with you. As an old saying goes “Hurry Worry”
Enjoy the moment!
