Where Do You Go to Relax?
Genny over at My Cup 2 Yours asks today, for Talkin’ About Thursday: Where do you go to relax?
My answer? Yosemite. True, I can’t go all that often. We usually get there about once a year. But when I’m there, walking around the snow-covered valley floor and looking at Half Dome and El Capitan, I realize that I’m just one small person in the world and that my problems, in the scheme of things, aren’t all that big.
For a busy mom who feels tied to her car and to-do list much of the time, that’s no small thing.
Where do YOU go to relax?

I love Yosemite! This is gorgeous! So glad you joined in…thank you!
Glad you like it, Genny! this was fun to do.
I love Yosemite. Can you believe I’ve lived in California all of my life and have only been there once? Your picture makes me want to go there!

Barbie, you need to get in the car TODAY and head to Yosemite!
Once is not enough!
Honestly, I can hear the wind through the valley when I look at this pic. Really takes me right back there.
My happy place is Kripalu. I haven’t been since I was pregnant with my first. I was 18 weeks pregnant, and stayed for a long weekend. I had such huge emotional growth during that trip. I actually found myself sitting against the wall sobbing while people danced around me — it was such an emotional experience.
I’d like to go back some day soon, but I can’t bring myself to go away without the kids. So for now I’m going to have to settle for the yoga studio a few towns away…

Karen, what an experience you had. Wow. That time will always be tied, in your mind, with that stage in your life. I hope you get back there someday. Thanks for sharing this.
I’ve always wanted to go to Yosemite. Maybe someday…
I relax…at home. I love being home in the company of my family.
Either that or I like to go out walking/hiking somewhere. I am so inspired by nature.

You are so fortunate to live in Arizona, Stephanie. A grew up there, and I know the opportunities to be out in nature are plentiful — OK, except in July when it’s 115 degrees! But we spent a lot of time camping in the mountains and exploring in the desert when I was a kid. Good family memories.
My mom has the greatest little lakeside cabin with a hammock betweein huge maples. one of my fave places.
