Thirteen Things For Calm & Relaxation 1. Read your Bible. Try starting in the Psalms, Proverbs, or John 2. The smell of a rose. 3. Snuggling with a sleeping baby. 4. The smell of a clean baby. 5. A good back rub. 6. Warm brownies. 7. Sit in front of a crackling fire. 8. Listen to a little Mozart. 9. Nice hot bath. 10. Drinking hot cocoa and reading a good book. 11. Snuggling with you spouse and watching a romantic movie. 12. The smell of lavender. 13. Listening to the birds sing whether that be birds in the morning or hooting owls at night.
Now go relax but sign the Mr. Linky First and leave a comment!

I agree with most of that but I don’t like lavender and Mozart and as I have no baby available I snuggle with my cat !

I know what you mean about #3. I can’t get enough of it! *sigh*

Re: the Bible, seems to me that it depends very much on which parts you read, yes? For example, I don’t find Leviticus or Deuteronomy or indeed most of the Old Testament really calming (?)

I love lavender, but Lilacs are my absolute favorite!

Brownies are wonderful for solving problems are at least making them seem better.
And a cup of hot chocolate and a good book are the perfect way to spend a winter day.

Thanks for stopping by – we were kind of the same page with our thirteens this morning. Only I was being greedy wanting a whole day to relax – little bits here and there would be easier to accomplish. And cuddling is wonderful, be it child, spouse, or pet. Sometimes maybe even a teddy bear:)

I’m baby-free, but I’m with you on lavender, hot baths, cocoa, and Mozart, among others.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.
