Its our time to absorb the beauty and tranquility the world offers us, and that the wealthy power structure tries so hard to keep from us.
In todays world, embracing serenity is a revolutionary act.

I'm glad you are making the most of the relaxation aspect.

I do have a list of things for Monday. Well see how it goes

(91,994 posts)When they express their inability to grasp why I like rural life,
"I live in a place where there's such a thing as tomorrow. And, you know, if something didn't get done today, probably okay if it gets done tomorrow instead."
My philosophy and I'm stickin' to it!
Im an insomniac who gets up every morning at six, work day or off day, and feels the need to get stuff done.
Im looking forward to training myself to just relax and rest.
Get the hang of it. First thing, adopt a bad habit like insisting on reading the paper (or whatever interests you) with your morning coffee and enjoy it until the coffee is gone. If you you don't have a morning beverage, get one. Little opportunities will begin to present themselves.

Retired two years and I still get up at 5:30 without an alarm- body is used to it still!
