Weekend High

Nope! This isn't a message about drugs. This is going to be TGIF kind of fun!  

Since it is the weekend let's start thinking about how much enjoyment we are getting out of life right now. We already know spending day after day in front of a TV is not healthy and is definitely discouraging. 

Your brain on TV

We have the freedom now; what can we do to increase our purpose and fun? How do we meet new friends? Where is our creativity? Are we setting a good example for our kids and other single friends and family?  

Finding a life-hobby is the best answer to so many dilemmas. If you are bored, depressed, lonely, sad, lacking friends (female or male), or feeling fatigued, the answer is to get moving and stay involved with life! It's simply up to you. It only takes 21 days to create a new habit. You can do this!   

Grab a notebook/pen, use your five senses and start adding activities you've been missing out on to this list. Most have clubs/groups to join (the friend aspect):  

Smell - Nature

gardening, visiting parks/sights, hiking, jogging, cycling, 

Winter Yumminess

Taste - Cooking

baking, ethnic dishes, salads, sides, desserts; 

Volunteer idea: soup kitchen

Sound - Musical

learning an instrument, dancing, attending concerts, friends of the symphony; Volunteer idea: join worship band at church 

Touch - Games

board games, playing cards, chess/checkers, puzzles; 

Volunteer idea: senior center 

Sight - Library

reading/book clubs, computers, classes, book sales, books, DVDs, audio; 

Volunteer idea: children's hour

Can you answer this question at your next friendly gathering:"So, what do you do for fun?"

And now, dear...sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Keep putting into practice all you learned...Then the God of peace will be with you. 
Philippians 4:8-9
