Relaxation

With everything going so fast in our quick paced lives, sometimes we miss the little things that keep us sane. Relaxation time being the first thing on our list that goes. Don't forget to relax, even if it's sitting in front of the tv with a cup of coffee thinking about nothing, relax (not that I'm condoning tv or coffee.)

We've had a stressful week this week. Our son was diagnosed with a spinal disorder and was put in a back-brace on top of his ankle braces. It's hard as a parent to see your 5 year old going through this, at the same time, he thinks it's normal. He thinks all kids go through this, because we've never told him any different. At the same time, he needs a break, free of his "issues". We took a day trip to the beach with a friend. Hit 2 different beaches, the aquarium, and a fort all in a 5 hour span. Relaxed at the beach, listened to the waves, watched him play in the sand, care-free and feel so refreshed this morning.

My thoughts: You need to rest and relax every once in a while. Take a trip to a museum, an aquarium, a park, drink a cup of coffee. What ever it is you do to relax, do it once a week. Free from cares, free from responsibilities, free from worry. Relax.
