My Favorite Relaxing Environments

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