Poolside

One of the habits I started to get into since moving to Florida is spending a number of weekends out by the pool. Usually I spend a couple of hours either on Saturday or Sunday and prop myself up by the water. Sometimes I have some friends join me, sometimes I sit by myself. Often I take the time to catch up on whatever I am reading at the moment.

This habit has been a great way to relax. I love just being able to sit outside and not worry about anything else for a little while. Sometimes it can be a good way to sit with my thoughts and process. Of course, it can also be some fun people watching time...ha. The point of it is not so much about getting a good tan (I use good sunscreen to protect my skin and more so my tattoos), but it is more about enjoyment. As long as I am not surrounded by a bunch of crazies, as does happen at a community-type pool, I can really use the time to find a moment of peace. Thanks, Florida Sunshine. ^_^

Sidenote: I've had a pretty good weekend. I was able to hang out with good people and see Abbey, even if it was for a short time. And if you decide to go see "UP," be prepared to be depressed.
