Unwinding

Is unwinding an important part of abiding?

[image error] Friday was an incredible day on the Colorado River:

Soaking in sun while draped across our boat’s deck
Gliding across the glass with the wind in my face
Connection with grown up kids
Much-needed relaxation
Lots of belly laugher

Today I feel fortunate, thankful for the abundance I enjoy in family, recreation, fun, and relaxation. Necessary interludes such as this one help me to unwind in the midst of my otherwise full symphony of life.

Short excursions remind me to refill when my energy tank registers empty. Taking time away from those necessary routines, work requirements, and impacted thoughts opens my mind to idea refreshing, soul sighing, and body resting. When I take time away, I relish in plenty: plenty of sleep, plenty of laughter, plenty of peace.

Now you might be saying, “But I don’t own a boat.”

Yet I would answer you with, “Owning a boat is not a prerequisite for unwinding, but changing locations often assists.”

There’s something mind expanding about different surroundings. Whether you drive for a day or stay for the weekend, find a place to lounge, preferably in surroundings that will fill your eye gate with something beautiful to you.

Suck in some fresh air and release a few sighs. I promise grace will meet you there, and you will return with crisp perspective.
