Re: Take Ten For Yourself

i was able to soak in a hot tub again last night with some bath salts, this time around.
my skin felt so good when i got out and i was all warm.

That hot tub sounds wonderful Jimmie!

I just did fifteen mins relaxing, deep breathing and centering, before coming on here. Bliss.
Houseguests are having a siesta! Phew!

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

i didn't report over the weekend. it isn't necessary that we really do that but i will post that i had the most boring weekend on record. lolol
i had a few moments of terror as i got ready for the book reading but all that passes quickly and the rest of the weekend was non eventful.

today, i listened to some good soul music, as in the Godly kind, while i walked and that is always relaxing to me. i have a calm spirit now and am pleased with todays events.

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

Yesterday I had a really cool "ten" (which was really an hour) for myself: In the hot water of a Roman Spa! Took the relatives we have staying there. Was amazing! 58° (average water temp), but in some spots really hot.

Doesn't look much more than a trad swimming pool here, but when there, it was really steamy and sulphuric smelling. At night it must be like Dante's Inferno!! Called the "Terme dei Papi" (Popes' Thermal Waters).
Would have been nice to have had a mud treatment too, but there wasn't time.

Felt great afterwards... very relaxed!

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

i am happy, sal!
the weather was cold and drizzly wet but i made it to the airport okay. it's good to have him home, dirty laundry and all. just resting with him last night as we watched the UNIT was a great relaxing time.

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

I wasn't so relaxed at the end of the Unit. Can't believe they let one of the good guys die.

I've been needing my ten minutes, but it's been hard to do the last couple of days. Will do before bedtime.

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

I cannot believe I have not taken 10 consecutive minutes just for me to relax. I haven't been able to find the time. Like I said previously, I might take a few minutes here and there, but my life is a little overloaded with stuff.

I have however, been following Jimmie's advise to breathe when I take the couple of minutes off. I think that's what's keeping me sane. LOL!

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

caryl, i was in disbelief too at the ending of the show! the whole time i thought the wounded guy (can't think of his name) would surely die and them bam! the other got hit. i will say that i was relaxed though. jack had been gone for 10 days so nothing was going to spoil that.

elsy, breathing is a good thing. lol we must continue to that no matter what. at least you are remembering to get some deep breaths in. steal the moments when you can.

Reading in the bathtub was my all-time favorite way to relax before I got married and had a baby! I could read an entire book over a marathon session (the kind where you drain down some of the water & add more hot - like 5 different times because your in so long!).

I did get a nice bath in this past Sunday morning really early - used some of the sweet-smelling-stuff my husband has given me over the years. Honeysuckle something from Bath & Body Works - very nice.

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

I got another spell on a train yesterday, so relaxed really well then... nearly went to sleep.
