Sleeping in and Mountain Views-good for the soul & body

Just a month ago, my sister retired after years as a physical therapy administrator for a California county hospital. One of the first things I believe she did was sleep in for hours. That was her first taste of retirement. Then she went off with one of her girlfriends to a small cottage on a bay, did some girl shopping, walking the beach, and enjoying the beautiful sunsets.

Her next recreation spot was in Colorado and the Grand Teton with her hubby, at a four star resort. Not only did she relish the incredible food in their restaurant, but also soaking several times in the deep tub in her suite. Then off to Yellowstone to give camping a try. Since her hubby went for the luxury route first, she agreed to roughing it with him. At this moment in time, she is laying on a lounge chair watching a geyser do its thing as the sun sets over the mountain tops. She has been sending me pictures of each spot. And am I jealous! But so happy for my sister who needed this kind of recreation and entertainment for years.

Are you jealous yet too? What kind of recreation do you dream about right in your home, around the corner, and the world? Over the years as I have written this lifeskill byline, I have offered all kinds of resources to check out. I will offer several again this month. For right now, I would love to hear from you. What delightful things are you about to do or have just experienced?

Tell me what your dream ideas are for relaxation, vacations near and far, and just playing and having fun. I will include your play times in the next article along with some resources to expand your horizons for yourself and family. Look forward to hearing from you. To entice you to share your fun spots, here are a couple more pics my sister sent me. And by all means, include those special spots in your own back yard and community.
