Its Saturday afternoon here. We just had our lunch and once again its only hubby and I this quiet weekend. of course with the dogs. My only son is still sleeping and we never wanted to disturb him.
Its peaceful and calm. Something like this gives me comfort. I remember the time when my kids were very young, they used to annoy me a lot, anyway there are still some scenarios that they can still annoy me
. There are a lot of things and even people that are really annoying.
I need space and get away from the source of my negative feeling. Spending time alone calms me, take a shower, have a coffee break and find a place that can give me comfort.
How do you calm yourself?
Photo I took when we were at the beach which I found so calming.

Beach is really calming. We live very far from beach and can go there only during vacations.
I enjoy my silent me time reading, doing art and craft or even just watching nature sitting in my terrace garden. I start my day with a short walk around my garden and watching the sunrise.

Those are good activities for relaxation.
We also live far away from the beaches and we need to find time to be there.

@cherigucchi I envy those who can visit beaches regularly, some do it daily or weekly. Oir nearest one is around 9 hours of drive.

@luisadannointed Its weekend and kids are not around.
Actually, I brought home some paper work but they are just lying here on my desk waiting to be touched!
That can wait and I have to get this break for a while. laundry is done and all other chores.

Watching the sea is a sure way of feeling that calm. I have not been there for quite awhile
Just me and my thoughts does give me peace.

I also love nature and I love those birds chirping and insects sounds. I got the chance to enjoy those when our seminar was held in a province.

My life has been full of ups and downs. I feel calm when I see my parents smiling or a herd of cows grazing in a open field or a herd of birds perching atop a tree chirping . When dark, black clouds cover the sky.
I can't describe all that makes me feel calm.
