(6,415 posts)1. 'Relaxing' is something I have forgotten how to do.
And, I never felt normal, at least not in the sense that other people use it. Nowadays, I just try to make it from day to day. Sometimes I am not sure why I do this, but I do.

This time of year I have so much work to do in my yard and garden that the hard work itself becomes relaxation.
Mulching today, which I hate.

Had to go to publix. No catfood. There is a park nearby. Maybe I'll go during the week
