Did you know yesterday was National Relaxation Day?

It seems odd to me to assign a relaxation day on a day when so many people are starting a busy work week.  Am I the only one that needs to hit the ground running on a Monday morning?  I think this day should be renamed ‘National Take 5 Minutes of Relaxation Time’  for the average person to realistically participate!  If you have a whole day free to relax, you probably don’t need to!

With that being said, I am sharing my most recent relaxation time – not an entire day, mind you – but, a couple of hours on the water with some friends.

too cold for seagulls pleasure in simple things blog

With temperatures below freezing and blizzard conditions, here in Connecticut we are experiencing a crazy winter.

And, like all of New England, we have had plenty of snow this year.

But, this winter, it is not the snow that has taken center stage…

This year, the star of the show is the ice!

And with temperatures below zero (without the wind chill), there is plenty of it – even in places it is not usually seen!
