Things somehow must be done now;
Tomorrow might never be;
And with some done, then I have won;
But yet if I should see…
Just one more day, just that far away,
I’ve got to do once more;
Those things to be read and things to be said,
For Death can take its score..
“Moments” by Thomas Wayne Wright
Somewhere along the way someone thought up this phrase: TGIF… Thank God it’s Friday. This Friday was a long one. Everyone of us was remembering where we were when the Towers went down. It was a sad day! It was good and right for us to remember 9/11 but it was also painful and sad.
Now that the sun has set, I want to remember them by living my own life to the fullest whatever good thing it may entail. Join me. If you can’t think of something to do for the weekend, here are a few suggestions.
Go for a walk.
Bake cookies.
Invite friends over to play cards.
Clean a closet.
Plant flowers, or vegetables in the yard.
Visit a senior’s center and share your life with the residents.
Take a nap.
Read a book.
Write a letter to a loved one.
Send a card to a loved one.
Call your mother
Go to a kid’s soccer game.
Watch a football game either on television or at a stadium.
Soak your feet in Epsom Salts.
Get a massage.
Give a massage.
Go for coffee with a loved one.
Make a new friend.
Ride a bike.
Go visit your neighbors.
Take the neighbors’ kids for ice cream.
Ride a bike.
Go on a picnic.
Go play miniature golf with the kids down the street.
Pray.
And that’s about all I have to say tonight. I’m off to do some of those things!
May your weekend be superb.
May it be filled with rest, peace, and those you love.
Best… Carolyn Thomas Temple
