A Relaxed Life?

Rightly or wrongly I have chosen to lead a quiet relaxed life. What kind of life do you choose and why? Some people like the challenge and the excitement of a busy life, but I have chosen not to push myself, partly because of a bad experience with stress at work a few years ago, and my faith and outlook on life which sees our ultimate aim in life should be to get to know God better in this life, and therefore our life should not be self-centered or based on our career.
I can quite happily spend a day in the house reading, watching a bit of television, reading or relaxing in quietness.
I once remember reading the Yoga Sutras - an ancient indian book I think. It said we should seek a quiet place for ourselves. There our souls become like the flame of a candle which burns unflickering away from the wind. It also discourages going places too much so as to lead a calm life. It srikes me as very true - when we spend a day at home we DO feel calmer

Easter holidays

Its Easter holidays. I took a week off work to look after the kids. I have enjoyed it, but it has been very busy. Have been driving/travelling around quite a lot. Now I feel a bit worn out. Went to Lochore Meadows on Monday, Edinburgh Zoo on Tuesday and a trip along the coast on and a picnic on Friday. Today I went to the boot sale but didn't see much there. Was thinking about going to the Easter Vigil tonight but I have changed my mind. Have simply overdone it this week.
Have also been catching up with emails and stuff. My new phone arrived (motorola V635), quite impressed with it.
Had a bad expereince on Ebay this week. My feedback is still 100% but someone emailed me saying they weren't happy with my guitar I sent. They said it was split, but I have never seen this fault. I told them to send it back and I'll give a refund

Snowing in mid-March

Today, about six feet of snow fell. Unusual for March. Ventured out this morning to take some pictures. Hoping my work will be closed tomorrow! The schools will be closed probably so that may be a bit of a problem, in which case if I do make it to work, I'll have to come home again to look after my kids
