When I’m Not Working
My relaxation moved far away 41 days ago. My grandchildren were my reason to not work, to let go, to live in the moment. Long walks, long talks, soccer games, movies, swimming, dancing, singing, reading — we knew how to relax together. Relaxation has evaporated since they left. I work long hours to forget they aren’t here. On my own, relaxation is often a challenge and therefore not relaxing. But, I do try from time to time.

Water is a major source of relaxation, particularly my two favorite lakes — the one behind our home and Lake Dora in Central Florida:
And, my furry family is a constant source of pleasure and amusement, always welcoming me enthusiastically after a long day at work, taking me on adventurous walks, cuddling with me when I’m sad.
