Gardens

A lot of people have discovered the benefits of greenery & many started creating gardens that are meant to be therapeutic. Especially those who have very stressful lives or who have issues with anger management have seen a difference & benefit from gardening. It’s is a very relaxing activity & used to help treat the symptoms of anxiety, frustration, & even depression.

Porch

A lovely porch, an inviting front to the house – convenient during the seasons when the weather is warm. It makes any home more attractive & spacious. Especially nice to spend summer days, gathering the whole family together.

Relaxing

Travelling, discovering, exploring – but most of all, relaxing – that’s a great holiday.

Swing 

Wicker swing in softer material than those I usually encounter. Been thinking about one out on the patio, but every time I try I’m not as fond. Looks good but not as comfortable.

Beach vacation

It’s that time of year when I would like to go away, get a change of scenery & simply rest. Ideally, I’d like to get off to a desolate place without a lot of activities, people & historical attractions. It’s contrary to what I usually like. I do actually enjoy the rush of big cities & colorful street life with congestion & noise. You can experience & feel the pulse at close range & still remain anonymous – in the middle of the crowd. It’s quite appealing & cozy (If cozy is the right expression of course). But it’s not quite that kind of longing I have. No, it would be very nice to travel somewhere with a distance to all of this. Beaches, sun beds, palm trees, shade, heat & not too many people around. How does that sound?

I guess it’s boring for some & heaven, for others. The fact is that I have all those things around me, within 30 minutes distance. Still, I’d like to go somewhere far away – just for the sake of change. I may sound spoiled, which is not my intention. It’s more about the need of temporary change – new environment, new ideas, start all over or rather rethink things. To do as little as possible, with simple decisions about which book to read or maybe take a nap. You know, relax, eat, sleep! Yep, indeed, that’s what I desire, right now. But now it will not be like that, at least not for the moment. We have relatives who’s here on five weeks visit. There will be no rest at all, the more trips, guided tours & late nights. Certainly nice but …

Happily, we can look forward to a long weekend in Singapore in March. City life instead of the relaxing mood I’m longing for. However, still a change 🙂
