Unplug And Recharge: Relax To A Soothing Song And Slideshow

"Unplug and Recharge" is a new Living series which aims to give you, our dear readers, a quick break from your day -- whether you have as much time as ten minutes or as little as two. Following the success of our Oasis at the DNC, we're hoping to give you a little cyber-oasis -- a place to escape -- where you can take a moment to unplug, relax, and recharge.

Ahhhh. I'm so relaxed now. Ready to start the day on a relaxed note.

Or I could go back to bed. Naaaaaaa.

Beautiful. I wish I could save the photos and sound to my computer so I can listen at the end of my stressful workdays!

Thank you! I enjoyed that a bunch. I had to mute Sarah Palin's shrill voice blasting on CNN, but after that it was like an oasis. It's interesting about how looking at trees can be so soothing.

My 4 year old daughter has taken to staring out the window lately, and when I ask her what she is doing she says, "Watching the trees momma." It's very cute, but I think she must be on to something. The trees outside our home are changing color and the branches sway with the fall winds. It really is peaceful. So, I pledge to do more of this tree watching and less election watching this week.

Sooooo Fine! Thanks!
