Computer & reading for me as well...I like to do word & puzzle games on the computer and am currently hooked on Big Kahuna Reef (but got my dh hooked on it as well, yeah! lol)

I love to relax with a good book, but the only reading I'm doing now is my devotionals because I'm working on cross-stitch & other projects for Christmas presents...I guess that's kinda relaxing but I'm beginning to feel the pressure of getting everything done! :eek:

Sitting at the beach and reading.

That is my favorite way to relax in the summer too. A few times over the summer after work, I would take a good book and an order of California roll sushi and head for the beach, Ahhhh....I wish it was still warm enough to do that - I had a particularly hard day at work:sigh:

my favorite way to relax is a good cup of tea,my backyard swing and a good Beverly Lewis book. Another way for me that helps with stress is working in my flowerbeds!!!

I love Beverly Lewis, she writes so wonderfully about the Amish way of life. Did you know that there's two new books out now..?
1) "The Preacher's Daughter"
2) a collection of Amish Desserts cookbook. (from all the books I've read about their desserts, it sounds yummy!) :yum:

Get in my jeep and head for the high country to one of the 3 fire lookout towers in the mtns where I live and listen to the silence, the animals and sometimes the wind through the pines...especially when life dumps on a person...solitude reminds us of God's still small voice and that even when lifes not, He is good.

When I have time to relax, I like to read a good book. Francine Rivers has written some great books. I have read quite a few of her books lately. I also love to relax by doing any type of hand embroidery, smocking, or quilting. And lately I have found a new way to relax. My husband and I have been taking drives in his car with the sun roof open. So I can watch the stars. With some jazz or blues on the cd player.
