Relaxation Day is a day to kick back and do nothing. Ahhhh! What a great day.
The stresses, the hustle and bustle seemingly consumes us, every day of the year. Even Sundays are no longer days of rest and relaxation. There never seems to be a day to just kick back and relax. For those us with a hectic lifestyle, Relaxation Day is a day to look forward to. It provides a break from the madness of your busy work and personal schedule. Todays is the day to enjoy either doing absolutely nothing, or partaking in your favorite relaxation activity.
Avoiding stressful activities today is the rule. For example, if golf is your favorite hobby, yet it can cause you stress, then make plans to play golf another day. Spending the day in a hammock is a far more appropriate activity.
Top Ten ideas to enjoy on Relaxation Day:
Do nothing today
Go to a Spa
Go fishing
Play a round of golf(caution: not always relaxing)
Lounge around in a hammock
Take a bubble bath
Spend the day at the beach
Go to the movies
Do a little gardening (no heavy duty work, though)
Have a picnic in the park
So what are you plans for today?
Mine we have to go sneaker shopping? LOL Both girls needs shoes for gym class. I wonder if I can talk DH into going out to dinner today, so not to ruin my relaxing day. LOL

Darn, I missed Relaxation Day because I had to work! 
Oh well, I'm making up for it today.
I've not done much today. I've been here in myLot most of the time since I've been home from work this morning. Took a nice bath and that relaxed me. I've been up and down every once in awhile, too, getting the dishes done. Oh yeah, and I had my single-serving-sized coffee ice cream for the week, too!

It is not a very relaxed day for me. I am following my daily routine. Also I have to do some shopping (which is not for fun, but compulsion)in the evening. Tomorrow also I have a tight schedule. I am glad your day is going great. We need few relaxation day during the year.

Guess I got this news too late. I've already cleaned the house, cleaned the front lanai, and cleaned the swimming pool. Then I came in and got on the treadmill for 45 minutes. No, I'm not kidding! I've just been cheated out of Relaxation Day!!
I have now been on the couch for about 1 1/2 hours, myLotting. Next, I'll jump in the pool before getting ready to go out to dinner this eve. with one of my sisters and her husband.
Hope you are having a more relaxing day than me. Hey, sneaker shopping sounds fun!

I had no idea it was an official Relaxation Day but, as it happens, I am doing exactly that! My mum said I'd been overdoing things so I'm under her strict instructions to chill out and take it easy today. She even called in to bring me a salad she'd made me for lunch ... bless her.
