So many ways to chill and relax..... I have learnt them all since February 2009 and my war with breast cancer, so how do I capture them on film? Great challenge. I put on my thinking cap and came up with a selection of photographs. My first is...... watching my baby boys sleep. When they sleep they are so innocent, full of peace and my heart brims with sincere and pure love for them. Above is Harry aged 8.

I love it on the beach no matter what the weather. It is so lovely just to sit and watch the waves, listen to the sound of the sea, collect stones and shells....... and writing in the sand!!!!!
I love walking in the woods, again, no matter what the season, there is a gift in each one. Here Springtime is depicted in Darland Woods with the first scatterings of heavenly Bluebells and wild garlic.... ooooh I can just smell the cascade of perfume - wonderful!
Of course I love parties! Relaxing with friends, fun with good, sincere friends.
Unplanned days out with my family and the dogs. Always good fun when you just "follow your nose and heart"
Finally, relaxation for me is knowing that my children are healthy, happy and safe. When those three elements come together I can truly relax and enjoy life.
what a lovely post- I loved the sleeping pictures.

ReplyDeleteI loved them all, Sara.xx♥
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed every one! Thank you, Sara.
ReplyDeleteWe both do the same things to relax.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the kids were little, I would just sit and watch them sleep.
We go the the beach even in a rainy blustery winter day, just pack up warm, and off we go.
My kids love writing their sister's name on the sand as she lives abroad.
I would love that spa pool. Something my husband couldn't be persuaded to get. We have a heated wave pool here in the suburb, sometimes when Sam goes there, I make a bee line to the spa pool.
How are you feeling?
Cheers,
Ann :)
Such a wonderful selection!
ReplyDeleteThere is something soothing about writing in the sand, isn't there? Love the shots of your boys in the ultimate state of relaxation!
