So these are my favorite recreation shoes! They are not running shoes or excercise shoes, they are golf shoes! Golf is one of my favorite recreations.

I do not find it funny that the two words re – creation and recreation are spelled exactly the same just pronounced a bit different. Re-creation, as defined at dictionary.com is to create anew. Recreation is a diversion for refreshment and enjoyment. When we recreate, we re-create!

As women, it is especially important to take time out to recreate. Our bodies, our emotions, our hearts need to be re-created. We can get bogged down in the daily drudgery of life that the joy of living gets lost.  To often we feel guilty if we take time for recreation and something mundane does not get done, like laundry or dishes.

When I play golf, I am outside enjoying the birds singing, and even deer run across the fairways! The sun feels good on my face and shoulders. When I swing the club, I feel powerful, even if the ball goes no where near my intended target! With every swing, I have to clear my mind and focus on the shot.  When my round is over, it does not matter what I shot or how tired I am, I always feel refreshed and renewed.

Ladies, put on your recreation shoes and go re-create yourself! Let me know what you did and how it re-created you.
