Soak-in a Sunset!

THE BEST USE OF LEISURE may not always be to engage in some sort of competitive or robust activity, such as an active game or sport. Taking part in some type of hands-on creative activity, such as a crafts project, may not always be the best choice of what to do in spare time. Different people have different interests! And, people who often participate in some form of active recreation may not always desire to do the same thing in every free-time moment.

At times, all of us would no doubt do well, to pause - to take a break from our busy lives - to relax, to think, to reflect, to meditate, and to meet ourselves! Life is too short to rush through it. The journey needs to be enjoyable. We really do need to slow down the pace of life long enough to savor our food, to actually taste our coffee, and to see and smell the roses along life's pathway. Doing so might be one of our best uses of leisure.

Consider this suggestion: soak-in a sunset! Take the time to sit and watch the sun as it drops lower and lower - and finally vanishes - into the distant western horizon. Whether the view is over the mountains, a meadow, a lake, the ocean, or simply from your own backyard, chances are the experience will cleanse and refresh your mind and restore your inner-being!
