I spoke with a friend earlier today and agreed how, though we are both outgoing and love to do things with others, there are times when it’s nice to hunker down and stay in.  Spend time away from others.  Get in touch with our selves.  Relax in a manner that doesn’t involve a lot of distance driving or doing this or that—ya know…just curl up at home with a good book, a nice movie, a close friend or a warm fire to gaze at.

My friend and I spoke about how in today’s hustle/bustle world, people feel compelled to do, do, do—always on the go.  We agreed that can be nice…for a bit…but sooner or later, it’s nice to draw back and regroup one’s self.  Like I said, that can be by time spent alone or with another.  But whatever one chooses to do in that recharging time, they should be mindful that it’s meant to be a stress-free time that doesn’t involve hectic schedules.  After all, life is already full of hectic schedules that have us running this way and that.  Don’t we owe ourselves the treat of decompressing from that hectic schedule…at least every once in a while?
