902 - 917 Fun Things to Do!




902 - I keep a phone calling list of people who need a check-in call, or those whom I call regularly, and I often add someone to the list that I haven't talked to in quite some time.  I take time during the day to enjoy a random phone call.

903 - If I am feeling a little low, I often call a close friend and just have a conversation without complaints.  Those conversations lift my spirits every time!

904.  Share your magazines.  My friend Linda makes wondrous collages so I give her magazines regularly.  You can also contribute them to local Little Free Libraries.

905 - Sing, hum, or whistle a happy tune!

906 - Visit a children's playground and swing, slide, climb!

907.  Take a horseback riding lesson.

908.  Enjoy a relaxing nap.

910.  Enjoy a long relaxing bubble bath.

911.  Create a spontaneous collage.  Gather some magazines, cardstock, and a glue stick.  Browse through the magazine and cut or tear images that appeal to you.  Glue them onto the cardstock willynilly or purposefully.  Contemplate your creation - it may have interesting messages for you.  Writing about your reaction to the collage is a fun and interesting thing to do.  You can paste your writing to the back of the collage.

912.  Take a photograph of the sunrise or sunset from the same spot for a week.  Enjoy your results!




913.  Take photographs of your garden every year.  This is a Passion Flower.  It looks like a flower from Mars!  The blooms only last one day, so I pay attention! They all look the same, but I am entranced with each one.  I even photograph them regularly.

914.  Re-read a book you loved as a child.  I loved my Nancy Drew books, and occasionally I read one again.  They're well-written and the mysteries are interesting.

915.  Gaze at the stars.  If you're lucky, you will be gazing with someone who knows a lot about astronomy and you can learn.  There are books that will make stargazing more informational.  Or you can just look up and enjoy!

916.  Lie down on the ground and cloud gaze.  Remember when you were a child and found images in the clouds?  Feel free to do it again!  A few years I ago, I was on a mission to photograph a heart shaped cloud.  It took about two weeks, but I finally found one.  If you decide to take a specific picture of a cloud, do not dillydally - they often change shape fast.

917.  String party lights around your porch or patio.  They look so fun and welcoming!
