TOD:
I have 2 different ways of relaxing/resting/calming the mind during the daytime hours.
If the weather isn't too hot, I like to take a slow walk around the entire backyard at our house, and I actually stop and look at, and talk to each tree that we have. We have over 40 producing fruit trees, and I tell them how nice they look, how much more they've grown, etc. I know it sounds crazy, but DP Kerry already knows that I'm certifiable.
The other is to stretch out on our wonderful "sleep number" bed, maybe read a little, and have Sugar hop up beside me. There is a definite soothing influence from just being in the close proximity to an animal that is also resting......I don't know why.
