Stepping up to being more relaxed

Hi, all,

It's Sunday! 2 more getups and it's Christmas.....  During this hectic time I've found it wise to reflect on ways to stay more relaxed...to keep things in perspective.  This photo of some stone steps at Kubota Park in Renton, Washington gave me the thought that all it takes is that a person steps up to the challenge of living a more relaxed life.  To find peace and to live it.  Oh I like getting excited about things and all that but there is such a benefit to taking steps to be more peaceful.  I received several Christmas stories that had a theme of peace and putting things into perspective that I printed out and plan to read over again.   That's at least one step I can take to having a more relaxing life.  Another step is to read over a fairly good article on the Positivity Blog on the same subject: 13 Ways to a More Relaxing Life.    My next entry should have a snapshot of our Christmas tree in a theme of red ornaments and white doves.  I hope you follow the path to peace in this season!    Maria
