What's your place to unwind ?
 
Where I live now I have a special place to be alone and get my thoughts together. It's about 5 miles from where I live and it's on the north shore of Long Island and there's a mile and 1/2 boardwalk. It's very beautiful and quiet during certain time of the day. It just so relaxing when I need to unwind and get away from it all. I will have to find a place like that when I get down there in a few weeks. I'm not that familiar with The Villages yet but I'm sure there are some great spots where there is some quiet.

So what's your special place in The Villages to have serenity and alone time ?

My lanai

The Polo Grounds!! The back side away from the traffic noise on BV Blvd. A nice bottle of wine, some cheese and crackers and sitting in the shade under a tree with my Kindle :)

As you travel south on the cart path on Morse approaching the bridge going into Lake Sumter Landing there is a spot to pull off and face West overlooking the lake. Right at sunset it can be a very tranquil spot even though there is automobile traffic nearby.

You won't be alone because it is a very popular spot, but the sunsets can be beautiful.

Unwind? I'm retired, I'm in a constant state of unwind.

Exactly, favorite place...wherever I'm at, at the time.

.. and I lived with major stress - five blood pressure pills a day! We, that's both of us, really love living here.

Love my pool area
 
Out back by my pool overlooking the golf course. It makes me happy and relaxed.

Love my lanai with a good book and a cup of tea.

Absolutely :) When I retired almost 4 years ago, I put my wristwatch in my dresser and haven't worn it since. If I am curious what time it is, I will glance over at my cell phone. I am on Georgie Time and will get there when I get there!!

Our lanai. Our front porch. Anywhere here.

In the eyes and smiles of people who have lived equally long

It is lovely to be SEEN and understood..

In my Tampa house on my lanai by the pool.
We have a lot of deer that come through and watching the babies
romp is heaven.

In our Gilchrist house, on the lanai looking at the lake.

Our Son came on Friday and he said it was sooooooo relaxing
and he feels like The Villages is a giant resort! He loved T.V.
