It's time to release some of the books that have been flying around my living room looking for a new home. Would you be willing to help them find new owners?
I'm having another book giveaway from now until the end of March here on this blog! There will be a whole variety of different kinds of books! I hope you'll find some books you like!
Here are the rules:
1.) To enter the drawing for a book, just answer my random question for the day in the comments of the post.
Today's question: What do you do to help yourself relax when you're stressed? I need some suggestions! :)
My Answer: I like bubble baths! But chocolate helps too...
2.) Be reachable by email should you win, so I can let you know.
3.) Enter by March 8, a winner will be selected the following day.
4.) Come back again tomorrow!
Today's book:
The Missionary by William Carmichael and David Lambert
Description:
American missionaries David and Christie Eller run a clinic for homeless children in Caracas, Venezuela. But when an angry David publicly rails against the government, he falls into an unimaginable nightmare of espionage. Will his life-or-death gamble to escape the country with his wife and son succeed---or will the resources of a corrupt dictatorship prevail?
What I Thought:
I couldn't put this one down! It was a great suspense with lots of twists and turns and an unexpected plot! David faces the overwhelming delima that a lot of missionaries face: lack of funds to do what people desperately need him to do for even basic survival of the people he's trying to help. So when he is offered money by what he thinks is a wealthy donor, he makes a critical mistake in taking it without thoroughly checking the source. He ends up in a mess of trouble!
A good read that kept me turning the pages even when I was supposed to be making dinner!
I got to the point last year where exercise actually does work. At least partly. Venting is always good, too.

I like to read to get away from it all! Or take a walk or ride my bike (when it's not winter).

To relax I usually pick up my current read and read, read, read. When I had a house with a Grecian bath tub, I would go in burn candles, turn out the lights and soak in the tub.
Smiles & Blessings,
Cindy W.

Stress relief? I like to sit outside when the sun is out. A good dose of Vitamin D! I also like to read, but unless it's the Bible, I'm just avoiding the problem and not finding a solution.

Movies and books generally help me to relax. Being buried in someone else's world for awhile helps me to calm down in mine. I've also downloaded a couple games from bigfish.com and I will play those too sometimes.

Watch a movie, read, or grab coffee with some friends. Or sometimes - just plain get out of the house!

I like to take a brisk walk, ride my exercise
bike and soak in a bubble bath with candles lit!
Many thanks, Cindi

When I am stressed, out I curl up underneath nice warm and cozy blankets and cuddle up with my sweet little puppy, Abby.
