Well, I am a copy cat – what can I say. But I think this one was so cool, I just had to…I saw it at She Lives and HolyMama! this weekend and it is a great topic. Randi’s “Lets Get Real Monday” how to relax and re-energize.
Although not a busy mom (our son is turning 21 in June), I still stay busy around the house and working. My favorite thing to re-energize is this:
Chilling on the beach in San Carlos with my Sweetheart. There is nothing better to just leave the busy life in AZ behind. Although this is a resort, it is very inexpensive and doesn’t have much too offer. Except a great beach, blue water and not many visitors during the month of June. Too bad that we won’t be going down there this year (well at least not in June). This is truly a place to reflect on God’s creation…
But since this only happens once a year, I relax other ways.
I like to listen to Greg Laurie’s sermons and teachings. I think I would attend the church if we would live in Riverside, California. Okay, so it is not Lutheran, but his teachings are so relevant and always encouraging. Check out their site when you have some time. Also pray for their New Zealand Crusade this up-coming weekend (April 28-30).
I also like to find comfort in the Word when times get stressful. After last week’s LBY Bible session – Psalm 51 has really impacted me.
I enjoy learning new software – oh yeah. I am trying to learn more about photo-editing via the PC. I love taking photos, but sometimes they just don’t come out the way I like them to come out. You can find my on-line collection here (just haven’t posted in awhile). I enjoy blogging – not just writing posts myself, but reading as well (and leaving comments :grin:).
But my favorite relax/re-energize time is to spend time with my hubby. He makes me laugh when I am sad, he holds me when I need a hug, and he encourages me when I am down.
Please leave a comment to let me know if you participate in Randi’s Monday Challenge…
Other participants: Kate, Carol, Randi, Susie, Martha,
Have a blessed Monday.
I love this! There’s nothing like being on the beach. I wrote about the same thing too. But blogger is being a pain and won’t publish it. It’ll eventually get posted I guess! Loved reading yours! Hope you can get to the beach this summer.
Oh wow! I want to go to San Carlos, too!
Great pic of you, by the way. Total beach bunny!
Hi there! The beach seems to be a theme for today! I live in Colorado so we seldom visit the beach 🙁 ! I love Greg Laurie’s teaching also!
Hi,
I’m here from Randi’s. My post was about the beach also. 🙂 Enjoyed my visit here!
Mine is relaxing at the beach, and hubby is included as well. You might like going to Pastor Laurie’s church, but life in Riverside….? I live in the area, it is a great place for ministry.
You’re lucky to have such man. I admire men with great affection. Hats off to him.
Lovely photo, Iris! You look so cool and relaxed… Glad you had fun at the beach! I’m going to a resort also this Sunday. Dunno if I can fit myself into a swimsuit, though…LOL! Have a great day!
Ahhhh! the beach. I just relaxed by typing it!!
This IS fun! I’m off to find out about Randi’s challenge. You always connect to such interesting places – both in the real world and in the ether…
It’s nice to see you:), especially at the beach! But reading about you, I’m now really wondering what I’ve written about me…hmmm….gotta search those archives!
