Relax

We all know that real estate can be a 24 hour, seven day a week business. With that in mind, I am interesting in hearing others ideas and suggestions for relaxation. My personal favorites - a cruise when I have the time to truely get away. The cell phone doesn't work and email gets pricey on board ship so I'm forced to lay by the pool and enjoy the breeze. If time doesn't allow, I like a good book and a warm bath. In Washington, a group of us used to sneak out for high tea.

What are do others do?

Rum. When not available, Beer. If neither is available, football.

Strap on a backpack and head into the back country at the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park; 900 miles of hiking trails.

No cell phones & computers allowed on our 2-4 day treks.

Nothing like being around a campfire up in the mountains watching the sun come up with the birds singing.

I haven't had much time to relax lately, but I find a quick "tickle fest" with my 2 year old, a few minutes with a book, a few minutes on Active Rain, or a hot shower tend to relax me a bit. I take what I can get, when I can get it. It's important to have a little bit of relaxation every day - not just on our days off or vacation.

A quick 3 or 4 day cruise is one of my favorites, I always come back rejuvenated after a few days at sea. For a quick fix.....poker, I've always found it very cathartic as all my attention is focused on my play and every thing else is a distant for a few hours.
