Daydreaming

Summer's a fine time to allow yourself a bit of daydreaming. Get off to a special place with a book or just your thoughts. Maybe it's time for that bike ride along a wooden trail or a row on the glass of an early morning lake surface. Perhaps it's a bit more simple, just a walk after dinner with a friend or family pet. Summer's good time to do a lot of guilt trip free activities. It's a time to get a away and reinvigorate the creative juices. Believe it or not, I do a lot of my relaxing and creative thinking alone, just driving. Sometimes, I'll find myself venturing down familiar thoroughfares. At other times, I'll take odd turns and lose myself for a 20 minutes or so. Relaxation and how we each find it is a very strange bird. My suggestion for us all today? Get lost!

  4. Birdman Brother,
    Let's go back to our old stomping grounds and get lost in the past! Like we did in the summer of '09. That was fun!
    Looks like our bikes are waiting!
    Enjoy your final day of the single life!

  7. I really love your suggestion. Getting lost is my favorite thing to do. I especially like to do it in new cities when I'm vacationing. One of my favorite things to do when I arrive in a new city is just walk and walk and see where I end up.

  11. It is not unusual for me to take a wrong turn and get lost. Is that relaxation? Thank goodness, I thought it was dementia.
