Thank you for sharing and inviting us to consider what restores us! Yoga, morning pages, meditation, pleasure reading, 20 minute power naps, fun outings with friends (especially if they're spontaneous), night-time walks... these are a few of my favorite things! And, big congratulations on your 150th post! That is great!! ;-)Barb Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451083633998574482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232396492371281821.post-70029241653096000942015-07-08T12:19:44.548-04:002015-07-08T12:19:44.548-04:00Your list of restorative activities is similar to ...Your list of restorative activities is similar to mine. For me, walking each morning gives me a chance to clear my head and enter into that "slower heart space." Your poetry class sounds wonderful. Looking forward to hearing more about it!

I was taking restorative yoga classes until I tore my rotator cuff. Since you are involved in poetry this summer, perhaps you would like to join me for my next gallery: Summer Splashings. Information will come out soon now that I unveiled Spring's Symphony Gallery.

That is the key for restoring your energy for life. Good for you getting out on the bike! I've been spending quite a bit of time reading books for fun, because they appealed to me.

I understand what you mean when you say it is harder to make the list happen during the school year.

I think it took me a year to "unwind", and now I am enjoying expanding into new territories of relaxation, rejuvenation and growth. Even though I'm not headed back to the classroom, summer does give you even more "room to relax"! Thanks for reminding me of a couple more things I want to try!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232396492371281821.post-47353976504060015672015-07-07T00:13:39.068-04:002015-07-07T00:13:39.068-04:00Love this post.

I love summer's slower pace, although I've traveled so much in the past six weeks that it hasn't felt slower yet...thanks for great ideas!
