New Calendar
December 2013
Enjoy these low
cost easy monthly activities. Obviously
fill in your own projects.
January
Bundle up in your favorite sweater and take yourself on a Sunday
morning stroll. This is a solo activity
but it is just fine to take your dog if you have one. Enjoy the quietude and take some photos.
February
If you live where you are blessed with four seasons you are
probably longing for warmer temperatures by now. Refresh your culinary skills and make some
wholesome delicious stews like beef burgundy, Hungarian goulash, chicken a la
king, white vegetarian chili…
March
Winter is getting long.
To beat cabin fever why not paint some tropical scenes. Not a painter? Not a problem! Get a travel magazine and make a collage. Discover your creativity! You will be amazed how much a little color
combined with a creative task can uplift your mood.
April
Watch a “feel good” movie and listen to music celebrating
spring, joy and renewal. Take yourself
to a museum date. Treat yourself and a
friend to lunch.
May
It is time to organize and rethink your fitness
routine. You don’t have one? Good grief what are you waiting for! Organize
closets and clean your studio. Get the
garden ready for planting. If you don’t
have one, buy yourself a couple a plants.
June
Take yourself on a pic-nick in the park. Buy a couple of
summer outfits. Offer to go on an
extended walk with a friend who has a dog.
July
Organize an outdoor pot luck with lots of friends and
games. Whenever you can, dine “al
fresco”. No outdoor space? No problem! Improvise
in front of an open window.
August
Plan as little as possible and enjoy unstructured time. See lots of friends. Eat lots of salads. It is a great opportunity to lose some weight.
September
This may surprise you but plan your holiday cards now. Every year I make my own. Everyone loves them…and
expects them! The sooner I start the
better I feel.
October
Enjoy as much as possible the outdoors while you still can.
November
The busy season is starting.
Organize, plan and stick to schedules.
Do not let others distract you.
Remember that it is OK to say “no”. Do not overload your plate or else
you’ll get indigestion…who wants that during the holiday season?
December
If you planned November well you will feel the holiday
cheer. If you don’t feel it, fake it and
smile through the day. Invite friends for a holiday toast including an activity
like exchanging favorite poems or inexpensive but creative gifts.
HAVE
A WONDERFUL YEAR. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH
FUN, INTELLECTUAL AND ENTHUSIASTIC PEOPLE WHO ENGAGE YOU WITH THEIR FREE SPIRIT,
KIND HEART AND OPTIMISM.
