When I do get a chance to just sit back, I usually go outside, try and read or just sit in the sun. These days it does not happen too often. I should really try and make more time for me. It just does not happen to often. I did go camping this last weekend, it was not a full relaxation because I had 22 scouts to keep on task, but it was nice to get out in the sun.

Great post. What I do in my spare time is listen to relaxation music and color. I have not been doing that because I have been working on my site to build content. I am going back to it so I can relax more and get those creative juices flowing. That is what I do for fun.

They say petting a cat is therapeutic and good for your health.

Taking a walk with your dog is good too.

It looks like you have a variety of animals to keep you busy.

We had a cat, but she passed away. I now have 3 dogs and that is all I want for now.

Grandchildren keep my spare time filled.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. We will be sure to keep the second hidden from your cats :)
When I'm not working, I'm hanging out with my kids. I like to take them on adventures and do new things. So often when it's the weekend we'll google something new to do, or a new place to visit, and we get in the car and just go!

I have many hobbies. One of which is my current niche, gardening. It is not just work, it is fun for me :) Well more so when my hands are in the dirt. Birds and bird watching. My husband and I also love fishing. Hunting is more his thing but I enjoy it with him because it gets us out together in nature and I love that. We like to go to auctions, flea markets, gun shows, and all sorts of festivals.

A deliciously whacky post Bo and quite cool too. Firstly where was that header picture taken, I have actually seen something similar first-hand, the joys of living in Africa. I sub-divide my relaxing into passive and active relaxation, most of it being decidedly active. Open ocean paddling, trail running, mountain biking, flying, motorcycles, fishing......... the list is endless. I'm blessed to live in a city with the motto;" Durban, where the fun never sets." We also have the world heritage Drakensburg Mountain range within but a two hour drive from us and get to visit this literal nirvana on an obscenely regular basis. My passive or more accurately less active relaxation includes the odd movie, very little TV and time spent scribing short stories that as of now appeal to no one but me.

hmm so much! Crafts, nature adventures, sitting by the river, playing with my grandgifts, meditating, and watch inspiring movies that always have great love endings or messages.And sharing deep conversations with close friends. All the while counting my gratitude blessings. And sometimes just dance! Lol while no one is watching.

I watch nature, science, history and cooking shows on TV. (But usually I am on WA or my websites too). I find new recipes to try with my husband. I most want to be gardening, watching wild birds, or going on a walk somewhere very quite and peaceful with flowers or trees or a stream.

Being on the computer is my relax time Bo. If I'm not on the computer I'm usually cooking, doing laundry, or cleaning. I rarely get the chance to watch a show. Just praying for my wife to get well. I'm also raising three of my grandchildren very little time for relaxing.

I also do yoga about 3 times per week, other days walk about 3 miles up and down my hilly neighborhood. I also like to draw with colored pencils and I have one vice. I like watching Naked and Afraid on TV. Can't figure out why anyone would want to stay 21 days in a horrible place getting eaten alive by bugs just to be on TV but I watch it none the less. Also, my cats are always beside me whenever I watch TV.
