R & R.

Rest and relaxation.

I find myself needing more and more of this as I get older and even though I am not actively employed in a traditional job of sorts these days it does not mean that I do not need time to take care of myself.

Our trip to Idaho this past weekend had initially been planned to be part of a work event but when that fell through we kept our tickets and reservations and decided to make it just for us.

I have had so many people comment on how they can’t keep up with me.  Well, me either.  This trip served its purpose of providing some much needed rest and relaxation from life.

Our summer and fall have been overbooked with travel and family and wonderful events.   It has been wonderful.

It has also been exhausting.  I said it. I admitted it

Time alone with Chris to just chill and do absolutely only what we wanted to do was much needed and much appreciated.

Enjoying Idaho, walking small towns, finding fun restaurants to eat at and enjoying mountain and lake views have all helped to relax and rejuvenate both of us.

What do you do to take care of yourself?
