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.
How do you take a break?

You have a lot of nice ways to take a break! I like my afternoon coffee (and morning of course!) too. Lucy looks happy to take a walk anytime. Your garden is doing so well! I love seeing your crochet projects!
ReplyDeleteTaking 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.
ReplyDeleteYoga classes at the gym are definitely one way I take a break too.
ReplyDeleteI stay off social media most importantly, I read a book, meet up with friends/family and have long conversations. Sometimes I unwind by watching engaging movies.
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!!! I enjoyed reading the ways you take a break!! It is something that I always have a hard time doing but over the last year and a half, I am learning to take that break and give myself Grace...It is important that we care for ourselves before we can care for others....
Hugs,

We are so similar...I love relaxing with all of these things especially the dog walking and reading!
ReplyDeleteI do many of these same things but didn't think of them as a "break" as I try to make them a regular part of life. Reading a book is probably my top way, especially if I have found one browsing at my local library. Listening to a Bible app or devotional podcast. Taking a walk or working out with a video. Another pleasure is playing Words with Friends-I tell myself it's good for my brain health so I don't feel guilty about wasting time. Unfortunately, I don't have a dog to walk, and sometimes wish I did.
ReplyDeleteYes taking a break with a book for sure! In fact, when I finish with work, I am heading upstairs to catch up on my reading and decompressing!
