Relaxation can take many forms. A few days ago our family was at the beach, watching the kids play and taking tons of pictures. We got home last night and today worked like crazy to do catch up work here at the homestead. Thanks to a lot of rain and good friends, the ole' fort was held down well. The garden more than doubled in size from the new little seedlings and small plants that we left behind to robust plants ready to put on their seasonal show.
We are having our annual chili cook-off next weekend so between that and catch up from being gone for the week, we have been flying from task to task. Some days our ambitions flow much better than others, and this was a good day. You know what? As I sit here with soar muscles and a few mosquito bites, I feel a different kind of relaxation. The kind that comes at the end of a day of hard work, when I sit back and bask in the beauty of all the accomplishment around me.
There really are two faces of relaxation, but both of them involve a winding down, and we have accomplished that well this week.
glad to know you have had the relaxation you need to recharge. i have two very hectic weeks ahead and then at the end of july... vacation time!!!
