My Favorite Relaxing Environments

Sunshine filtering through a window, illuminating particles of dust
Open windows with birds chirping outside
Night breeze filled with the sounds of tree frogs
Deserted beach, tide licking my toes
Cuddled under a blanket on a chilly evening
Warm PJs and my monkey slippers
Floating in an otherwise empty pool
Dozing on my comfy couch, outside sounds and a clock ticking
Under a shade tree on a hot afternoon
Stretched out on my bed reading a book
Staring into a flickering camp fire, smoke curling in heavy air
Prone on flat rocks jutted out into a north woods lake, greens and blues and oranges dancing across the sky
Alone in a tent, baking in the warmth, listening to the wind brush through pine forests
Front of the canoe, oars slipping through glass water
Barefoot on my deck, wind chimes whispering
At the bottom of a crashing waterfall
On the bench next to the pond where I live

Thunderstorms rumbling through the valley
How green everything is after a lightning storm
Coyotes howling outside my window
The wonder of Springtime, finding things growing you didn’t know were there
Harvest-time, tractors in the field, clouds of dust
Hay-rack rides
Blinding brightness after an ice storm
Evergreens bowing under heavy snow
Bird song choirs that never cease
Woodpeckers
Walks in the woods
Creeks skipping by
Next door neighbors a mile away
Hummingbirds at my window
