A swim in her pool always relaxed Loreen. The water shimmered under the lights of the indoor setting. Coolness washed over her in immaculate fashion. If she were a believer, it would've baptized her. It felt like a cleansing of all the worry and stress that had built up in her life. She enjoyed the strain as it challenged her, but she relished the release.
Then, the lights of violet and blue in the pool illuminated indicating a video chat had reached her device.
“Answer the chat, please,” she announced.
The screen rose from a place at the center pool. Lisa’s face appeared. Her face told a tale of great regret and turmoil. Loreen picked up on this immediately.
“Did somebody hurt you?” Loreen queried with a mother’s care and intuitiveness.
“I’m just trying to keep my mind focused on this next move we’re all making,” Lisa explained. Loreen walked out of the pool and toweled off with precision.
“You’re not backing out are you?”
“No, it’s not that. It’s just that I want to do the best I can,” Lisa admitted.
“You will. You have nothing to worry about. Just watch Entrepreneur Paul and me. We’re accustomed to these deals. It’s nothing we have to worry about.”
Visibly, Lisa began to warm up a bit and the tiny creases in her forehead began to diminish.
“I just want to be more than the third wheel.”
“That’s why they make tricycles. You’re a vital part to this whole operation.” She had already started to re-enter her home after drying. She picked up her phone and the screen at the pool switched to the mobile device. Lisa’s face lit up the phone and Loreen dried off her inner ears and placed her power buds in her ears.
“That’s better,” Loreen mentioned.

The silver eagles on Colonel Janiah Moseby’s uniform made the blue service uniform pop. Flecks of gray dotted her close cut hair which sat on her almond colored skin. Her petit frame belied her commanding presence, even while seated. Her office in Dover, Delaware at the Dover Air Force Base seemed rather sparse; a small library, some chairs, and her desk occupied the space. As commander of the base, She sat cross-legged, her hands folded neatly in her lap. Dr. Strong faced the high-ranking high flier. He wore a black business suit with no tie.

Hobbies and Life Go Together No Matter What
When you look at the way you live your life and then you look at the things you do to help you relax in that life what comes to mind. Is the first thing that comes to mind something that has to do with hobbies and how much you get out of them when you do them. Now you are probably wondering, what this means an example of this, is that hobbies is what makes life what it is, so do the things you enjoy to relax, workout, or watch television, or read or even do art projects or projects with string. Or even play music or a sport. These are just a few things that are considered hobbies and in the end can be great ways to keep your life going. This means that doing your hobbies while you are working and knowing how to take breaks from working and actually do your hobbies is great. An example of this could be, actually taking twenty minutes a day or an hour and reading that book that you keep telling yourself you are going to start. Or do that art project you keep telling yourself you are going to get around too. Or take fifteen minutes and clean out that annoying miscellaneous drawer that you keep telling yourself you will get around too it and have yet to do.
