In reply to Wayne Stiles. How true, Wayne. I've not been the best at this in my life, but I am striving to get there!

Ah… such relaxing quotes, Skip! One of the neat things I’ve found with quotes is that they serve a lot of purposes. For example, I’ve used quotes to remind myself of something when I wake up in the morning, or when I start working.

Perhaps one of the most interesting ways in which I’ve used quotes is to help me fall asleep. Sort of like a meditation I guess you could call it? I’m not sure. I’m not really a fan of hypnosis or anything, but I do struggle to fall asleep. So I would think of each word in a quote, one at time. I would visualize how the word was spelled and what it meant. Before I got to the end of the quote, I was asleep.

As I write this, I realize that I’ve had a hard time falling asleep for the past few nights. And I’ve stopped doing this. Hmmm. Should probably start it up again! I’m going to start with your quote from Emerson. 🙂

I love all the quotes about relaxing. I need to do that, Skip! I’ve found that if we don’t do it often, we have no clue how to relax when we have the opportunity. Thanks for the shot in the arm.

This is a delightful–and instructive–set of quotes. My favorite is the Chinese proverb, “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.”
