731 - Feed the birds at a local park. This is my friend Laura feeding a chickadee at Seiberling Naturealm in Akron, Ohio. The birds are very friendly and happy to hop on your hand for a quick snack. We have had chickadees, tufted titmice, nuthatches, and cardinals (who lurk, but don't perch). Feeding birds from your hands is a magical mystical experience which I would highly recommend.
732 - When you are feeding birds from your hand, always have extra birdseed to give to curious strangers -- especially children. It is amazing to see the expressions on their faces the first time a bird lands on their hand!
733 - Organize a bowling party. It can be just for the fun of it, or for a special event. My grandson and his friends had a terrific time at his bowling birthday party. Check out your local bowling alley and see what they have to offer,
734 - If you really like bowling, join at bowling league. I was in a league once and I can testify that it was a LOT of fun and there was great camaraderie. If you're lucky, you might get one of those cool bowling shirts!
735 - If you are wrestling with a dilemma in your life and can't figure out what to do -- dance it out! You don't have to go to a nightclub -- just wait until you are alone, turn up some energetic music and go for it! It is my guess that by the time you have worn yourself out, you will be able to make your plans more clearly and calmly. Dancing it out can be done at any time for any reason!
736 - Keep an eye out for reflections in a pond or lake and capture the image with your cell phone camera or regular camera. Reflection photographs are so interesting -- you might even frame one that you like.
737 - Keep your favorite books in one place so they are always handy when you want them. My sister Barbara had a whole bookcase of favorite books, and I followed her lead and now know exactly where to find my books by Carol Shields, Julia Cameron, Carl Hiaasen, Studs Terkel, Hunter S. Thompson, and Isabel Allende to name a few.
738 - Read a book that is totally unlike something you usually read. The library is full of wondrous books waiting for you! I usually try my books out at the library first to see if I want to buy them later.
739 - Share your books randomly. At bookcrossing.com, you can find information about how to register your book, and then leave it somewhere for a stranger to find! This is from their website:
BookCrossing is the act of releasing your books "into the wild" for a stranger to find, or via "controlled release" to another BookCrossing member, and tracking where they go via journal entries from around the world. Our community of passionate, generous book-lovers is changing the world and touching lives, one traveling book at a time. We hope you join us!
740 - If you love books, you will enjoy finding quotations about books. For example, "A good book makes you want to live in a story. A great book gives you no choice." from the BookCrossing Facebook page I am reading a great book right now -- A Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George. It is an enchanting tale of a man who sells books from a barge on the Seine in Paris. There is romance and mystery too!
