In 1996, my husband told me that I needed to find something to do for myself that I enjoyed. Quilting fit the bill. Of course, I sprinkle in a massage or two when I am really feeling tense. Walking along the countryside by myself is also relaxing and involves exercise. Sounds like you already know what to do, you just have to make the time to take care of yourself. That is the challenge that so many of us women struggle with.<BR/><BR/>I may have also found a new stress reliever. For Valentine's Day, my sweetie bought me a weighted hula-hoop. Now my gyrating hips may not be the prettiest thing you have ever seen, but it sure causes my household to giggle. Some of the kids at school have also gotten a glimpse of this phenomenon and have smiled - or was that laughed hysterically? Anyway, who knows? I may find a waistline again some day.The Quilting Principalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728574542226427799noreply@blogger.com
