Recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or sleep, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner. As people in the world's wealthier regions lead increasingly sedentary lifestyles, the need for recreation has increased. The rise of so called active vacations exemplifies this. HealthA few individuals view recreation as largely non-productive, even trivial. Excessive recreation is not considered healthy, and may be labeled as escapism. However, research has shown that recreation contributes to satisfaction, and that the stress management aspects of it contribute to quality of life, health and wellness, happiness, and that the use of recreation as a diversion may have clinical applications to individuals with chronic pain and other health impairments. In some cultures and religions, recreation is encouraged on certain days and discouraged on others. For example, in Judaism, Shabbat is a day for recreation, study, and relaxation; many Christian churches also have Sabbath. However, others interpret Sabbath to be a day of worship. According to research cited in Time magazine, stress is a major factor in many of the leading causes of death in the United States. From Wikipedia under the

Canyon Lake is a beautiful setting on the crystal-clear Guadalupe River about 45 minutes northeast of the city. Take I-35 towards Austin. Go through the town of New Braunfels and exit at Hwy 306. Turn left and go about 20 miles then look for the signs. New Braunfels itself is a great place for outdoor activities. It has two clean spring-fed rivers, the Guadalupe and the Comal that flow through it. The water is cold but it's a fabulous time.
