August 15th is Relaxation Day. Today is a day to kick back and do nothing. Ahhhh! What a great day. The stresses, the hustle and bustle seemingly consumes us, every day of the year. Even Sundays are no longer days of rest and relaxation for many. There never seems to be a day to just kick back and relax. For those us with a hectic lifestyle, Relaxation Day is a day to look forward to. It provides a break from the madness of your busy work and personal schedule. Enjoy either doing absolutely nothing, or partaking in your favorite relaxation activity, even if it is only for 5 minutes.
Slow down… breath, and just relax.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Coffee, n. break fluid.

Here at my house I rest more than I work but most of us don’t have a whole day to spend relaxing. There is however, a lot of benefit to a 5 or 10 minute break. I remember the days when I was working and got a 10 minute break in the middle of the morning and another in the afternoon. I was always happy to see break time roll around and to get away from the computer screen and the telephones for a few minutes.
It is very important to take a break, just to stretch and take a deep breath. I’ve learned that taking a deep breath and then letting out slowly several times is also a good way to relax. Evidence shows that taking regular breaks from mental tasks improves productivity and creativity and that skipping breaks can lead to stress and exhaustion. Break time can include options like walking, reading a book in another room or taking the all important lunch break, which provides both nutrition and recharging.
This post is going out late today as I took a little break.
Remember: You deserve a break today!
I hope you all have a fantastic Friday. The weekend is almost here !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Every now and then go away and have a little relaxation. To remain constantly at work will diminish your judgment. Go some distance away, because work will be in perspective and a lack of harmony is more readily seen.
Leonardo DaVinci
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for over a year and have now reached 1900 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1946. for time to relax, we all need it
1947. for Fridays, the end of the work week for many
1948. for coffee breaks, they always perk me up
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
One way to break up any kind of tension is good deep breathing.

A bit of love from someone dear…
