Lost in translation...

I am sitting in a beautiful home on Lake Travis just north of Austin, Texas.

I can see the lake from our balcony.

A thunderstorm came through this morning and cooled it down to a mere 85 degrees so we actually sat on the deck and didn't sweat for over an hour today.

I am on a staff retreat, where our goal and focus was to relax. I am so blessed to be a part of this staff, and serve at a church that values its staff and the time needed to simply decompress.

As stressful as it was for me to get away for this trip, it has been worth all the stress and drama.

So, my question to you guys is, what do you do that reduces your stress level? And, how often do you take the time to de-stress? Just curious...
