25 Things To Do For You

1. Sit down and read a book. Make yourself a nice glass of iced tea, pick up a fun-to-read book and stretch out outside or on the couch. Try, The Wonder Spot, by Melissa Bank, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See or Little Chapel on the River by Gwendolyn Bounds.

2. Get a pedicure and show off your nice feet with sandals. Talk a walk on the beach. The sand is good for your feet.

3. Take a day off. People need to re-charge their inner batteries. Have lunch with a friend, see a movie or a show.

4. Pick some flowers to decorate your house with. Dry some (between a books pages) and use them to decorate.

5. Sell or give away your used clothes to charity. Buy new clothes and some nice new hangers for them too.

6. Put together a photo album. Collect all those loose photos you have lying around, and be creative. Make a scrapbook, too.

7. Watch the sun go down. It can be really magical and fun.

8. Start a garden. Plant seeds and watch them grow. Radishes are the quickest to come up.

9. Go stargazing. Drive somewhere that there are not too many street lights, so you can have a nice uninterrupted view.

10. Go swimming. Join a health club or spa.

11. Drink some champagne. Champagne goes well with many foods and it is light and bubbly. It is better than beer with grilled meats, spicy chicken and hot dogs.
