Every two weeks Bloggers unite for a day to write about a communal topic. This week LetsBlogOff asks the question: How do you relax and recharge?
Summer in Florida is hot, humid and buggy. For my business it is also the busiest so I have learned not to vacation during the summer. A week at the beach would be quite lovely as would a week in Italy but alas I am a true American and don’t do a good job at making it a priority. I do have a vacation in the mountains scheduled for October though.
In the meantime I settle for yappy hours, lots and lots of ‘em! Yappy hour is when my friends and their dogs come over; we break out food and beverages and chat while the dogs play. Similar to children’s play dates only we aren’t changing diapers.
Laughter and hilarity ensue while the dogs run to and fro, makes for tired dogs and very happy adults. I would share more but what happens during yappy hour stays in yappy hour ;)
Just spending time with friends is a real respite. My wife has a lot of friends from her many jobs over the years, and she has stayed in touch with a lot of them. Going to lunch with them always recharges her batteries.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs are also a great source of stress relief.
