What is Leisure?

By Jamie Notaro (notaro1)
This picture was taken at Oak Street Beach in downtown Chicago. The view of various buildings in Chicago, the sky, the water, and those enjoying their time at the beach represents relaxation and an escape from reality. I took this trip to the beach with my older sister and older cousin. We spent the afternoon talking about anything and everything and simply enjoyed one another's company. It felt good to relax and relieve some of the stress of everyday life.
My definition of leisure is the time you spend without thinking or worrying about the responsibilities you have or problems that may need to be faced while in the prescence of those you love. Being able to clear your mind and be at ease with family or friends is my idea of leisure at its finest.
