Jewells of Thought

How do you relax?

My answer from the last time I answered this hasn’t wavered. Music is my go to way to relax my mood does guide the type of music I listen to though. Like when I was cutting the corn on Thursday I was listening to Christian music one of my favorites is Lauren Daigle. Other times its oldies like the Carpenters from my parents’ generation or even farther my Grandparents generation. They are all found on my Pandora playlists.

Secondly, there are times I need to relax by letting out steam by exercising on my bike. There is nothing better than riding while laughing along with Gutfeld and his hilarious guests and their planned or not planned jokes. There is medicine in laughter.

Thirdly, when I need to relax I love finding a movie old one or a new one from my Frndly Account, sitting and working with my hands also gives me fulfillment. The creativity of figuring out how to finish the pieces can be reinvigorating. A couple of weeks ago I was doing this very thing while watching the original McHale’s Navy. An awesome show the Alsman Family enjoyed.

Fourth, texting or rereading texts from Bryan reminds me how much I am loved and cherished. He grounds me and vice versa. I am blessed to finally have found the man God wanted me to wait for through all these years. We both agree we are more settled as adults than we would have been if we had met younger; God’s timing was best. We are still waiting on His timing for more logistics but we have never been more certain of God’s bond tying us together even long distance and online. It is but for a season.
