I had an event happen to me this morning that I planned to write about with a quote to go along with it. I couldn't find the right term to characterize what happened. I thought I did, but the quotes weren't coming up to match. So I'm falling back on one of my favorite "authors." He's really a cartoonist. If you don't recognize his name, go ahead and do some research. His work can be taken at what ever depth level you want to take it at.
"We're not really taught how to recreate constructively. We need to do more than find diversions; we need to restore and expand ourselves. Our idea of relaxing is all too often to plop down in front of the television set and let its pandering idiocy liquefy our brains. Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating; the mind is like a car battery— it recharges by running." - Bill Watterson, Kenyon College Commencement Address (1990)
How do you relax?
