What do you for peace and quiet, or a little time out to yourself?

I love it when my daughter is at her dads or at nursery as it gives me a bit of time to myself. i love to read magazines and also love a good horror film and the occasional brandy and coke is nice too lol

This is something so easy to overlook but is really quite important if we are to live long and productive lives. More often than not, we are preoccupied with so many mundane things and not mind the spiritual. Not all people believe this but we are made up of body and soul. We pay particular notice to our bodies like nourishing it with healthy foods, doing exercises to maintain the tone of the muscles, and going to the spa to beautify it. But going to Church and attending services, we sometimes even think of it as an obligation and not as a duty. This is one way to have peace, a quite time for ourselves. Personally, I try to meditate wherever and whenever I find myself alone, be it at home or in the office, just as long as it is convenient to do so. Otherwise I try to schedule it someplace where I can really be alone.

I am the type of person who likes to be alone. However, with the career I have chosen, and two daughters at home, this does not happen very often! When I do manage to be alone, I usually walk over to the waterfront. find my favourite bench and just sit there, stare at the water and think. This is how I get my peace and quiet. :) cheers,
