Loosen Your Load!
Like the Eagles sang in their 1972 hit song, most of us would like to "loosen our load," and not have "a world of trouble" on our minds.
It's important to know how to "take it easy" when we need to...
Al Pacino, as Tony Montana, in "Scarface." He had a lot of stress in his life...
If anybody knows how to take it easy, the easy going Dude, from "The Big Lebowski" knows...
Yep, that's one way to do it!
Stress can cause a lot of physical problems...
Disney's Foxy Robin Hood has the right idea!
Just hit the "Easy Button." No sense being all stressed out all the time!
Well, yeah, man...It's not always gonna be easy. All the more reason to take it easy when the opportunity presents itself...
We "otter" be more like this fella!
Because life is not always gonna be what you thought it was gonna be...
Remember Ferris Bueller? He pretty much had the art of taking it easy down to a science!
The beach is a good spot to chill out...
Isn't that what you say to somebody you're trying to calm down? Why is it so hard to take our own advice?
Sometimes it's not easy. That might be a good time to give things a rest...
I like playing the guitar. Hey! Get outta there, Freddy!
Walking is good! The Fab Four knew...
Heck, go fly a kite...Or, ride a bike. Combine the two: here's an awesome bike kite!
Look for shapes in the clouds while you're at it!
Basically, whatever it takes,,,whatever rings your chimes!
Just "find a place to make your stand...and take it easy!"
Take It Easy
"Well, I'm running down the road tryin' to loosen my load I've got seven women on my mind,
Four that wanna own me, Two that wanna stone me, One says she's a friend of mine,
Take It easy, take it easy Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
Lighten up while you still can don't even try to understand, Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy.
Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see,
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me,
Come on, baby, don't say maybe, I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me,
We may lose and we may win, though we will never be here again,
So open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load, got a world of trouble on my mind,
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe, I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me,
Oh oh oh Oh we got it easy, We oughta take it easy"

I was just thinking I better ramp things up because I feel like I am falling behind.
Maybe I will take it easy for the rest of the evening. That should do it.
I love that song.
Thank you for the reminder to chill once in awhile.

Circa 1972. I remember it well Rick. You just forced Crocodile Rock to move over in my mind! The first band floor I ever saw was in a place called Take it Easy Lodge. A former 1920's speakeasy!
