I love to walk long distances at a pfairly quick pace..
I love to listen to Josh Groban.. (I know, silly but it works for me).. I listen to classical music.. I love to go to "my beach" at the cove in La Jolla and watch the water (my "thinking" spot).. I love to lay on the couch and snuggle with Camille.. (my cat..) I love bubble baths in the "dark", with candles all over the bathroom, a glass of wine and music though, I have to admit, I no longer have a tub in which to do this..

Kity love does it for me too FG.
Actually one of the more relaxing things I used to do is volunteer at the animal shelter. I always felt I was helping there and it was a great feeling. I haven''t found a shelter in CA I approve of yet, though. They are all so... well, they don''t screen enough-- which stresses me out-- and no-kill is not happening. |

Sleeping in...And then having breakfast in bed while reading the paper with a nice long jacuzzi bath after....Ahhhhhhhhh
Going to the beach (*whispering* without the kids) so I can just read and listen to the waves and birds. Snuggling...With the cat...Or the kids...Especially with DH. Sometimes a nice cocktail, but, other times it winds me up and I turn into an insta partyanimal. |

Taking a nap in the afternoon when I don''t have anything pressing that needs attention and I can have the bed all to myself. It''s especially nice if the sun is streaming into the room and it''s quiet all over the house (and even better if I have sheets on the bed that came right out of the dryer!). I don''t sleep nearly enough and I rarely get to do this, so it is a true luxury.

Since my kids aren''t home, I love having special dates with them. That one on one time is really special.
I love playing with my doggies, they are to funny. I love how they know so much of the english language. I am getting to the point where I need to learn sign. I love working around the house. Cleaning relaxes me, throwing things out, organizing a closet. My newest love is time alone with my husband. Honestly it is so nice to go out to dinner just the two of us. Also spending time with my friends... |

I also love the house in quiet, in the late afternoon, a bit of light, not too bright, and a nice breeze, and napping in the bed. Add some ocean sounds and I am in heaven.
I love curling up with the fire on, hot cocoa or wine depending, and having a great book or movie to watch, and we are all hanging and the kids are not fighting. I also love to lay with Maya and have her snuggle and make her snuffly sounds... |

Great thread.
Swimming in the summer time. DH makes breakfast outside and we eat around the pool. Now that is relaxing. Taking our 5th wheel out on the spur of the moment and go camping.(walking in the evening and looking at the stars) When camping, sleeping in, in the morning Snuggling with my DH. Playing with Miss Mazie our Lhasa Apso Spending time with our Grandchildren Teaching my parrot new words to say |

ditto. but since a good beach is 6 hours away... our nice 6' bubbly tub will do. love that. just sitting with dh relaxing. and though a rare occurance, st. lucia - lounging around our room with the open cool breeze and hearing the trickle of waterfall into the jaccuzzi. the 3 walled room was amazing... |

ideally relaxing on a tropical beach somewhere with no cares in the world, warm sun, warm breeze and warm ocean.
but more realistically and daily kind of things... long walks, either with or without music, i love just stretching my leg and breathing in the air spending some time outside in my garden, checking out what is growing, watering, inspecting...sniffing the flower scents super hot bath in our jacuzzi tub with a good book snuggling my nose into portia's fur and breathing deeply...something about your pet's smell! a 60 minute hot stone massage or a mani/pedi or all three! reading a great book and lounging outside in the warm sun with a cold iced tea definitely love the floating around a pool thing on a hot day...ideally on a floatie with a cold fruity margarita i am very 'pleasure oriented' as greg likes to call it, so anything where i am chilling out and relaxing and ideally in a warm locale or in the sun, i am pretty happy and relaxed. i also am not that high strung in general so i don't get really stressed out that easily, thankfully. i'd probably have multiple ulcers otherwise! eta: diamondtiff i am with you on watching the flames in a fire...it is sooo mesmserizing and really relaxing for me too. i could sit there for hours with some hot cocoa. |
