How Do You Take a Break? - Share Our Lives

August 11, 2025


Hello friends.  

It's the second Monday of the month, which means it's time for the Share Our Lives Link Up.  This month's topic is How Do You Take a Break? 


I have many ways I like to take a break, and here are just a few of them.


I love drinking coffee in the morning and in the afternoon.  I drink regular coffee that I make in the coffee pot for me and my husband.  In the afternoon I make espresso coffee for us in our espresso machine.  If we are out, I like to have a latte or a cappuccino.



One way I take a break is by reading a book.  I enjoy reading library books on my Kindle using the Libby app.  I recently enjoyed reading Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore.


I enjoyed taking care of my little garden this summer.  I grew peppers, basil, parsley, cucumbers, and watermelon.


I like taking a few classes a week at my gym - weights, pilates, and Zumba.  


I go in spurts with crocheting.  This summer I took a break, but I'm looking forward to starting up again this fall and winter.  It's a great way to pass some time, and it relaxes me.

I crocheted these pumpkin coasters a few years ago.


I used them to decorate my mantel for fall last year.


I enjoy going for morning or afternoon walks with Lucy.

  2. Taking a break is always needed. I, too love my morning coffee. In the winter, I enjoy a nice cup in the afternoon. Your pumpkin coasters are lovely, a great way to relax is crocheting.
