How to... Enjoy a Beautiful Day


It's GORGEOUS outside! So why are you inside reading this??

Maybe you are looking for some quick ideas to help you fully utilize this beautiful day...

  1. Go out for a walk to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. A little warmth and sunshine with some exercise will do wonders for your state of mind, as well as your physical well-being.
  2. Go to the local park. Take a kite and relive the joys of childhood. Flying a kite is a breeze! (Pun intended.) It may take you a bit to get back into the swing of getting the kite to take-off, but in doing so you will have gotten yourself a little exercise, too.
  3. Take a picnic lunch along on an outdoor expedition and have your lunch "al fresco" (in the fresh air). You could just plan a picnic for the park or the beach (if there is one nearby).
  4. Take your dog for a walk. If you don't have a dog, ask your neighbor or a friend who has a dog to borrow theirs for the afternoon. It can be your good deed for the day. Going on a walk with a dog is good exercise and a great way to meet people for conversation. Who doesn't love a dog?
  5. Take the current book you are reading, go out, and find a comfortable place under a nice shady tree and read outside. For lunch, go to a place with outdoor tables and enjoy eating outside in a "crowd."
  6. Go to an outdoor flea market or make the rounds to neighborhood garage/yard sales. Take-in an outdoor auction.
  7. Take a hike. Go fishing. Go swimming. Go boating. Play a sport. Climb a mountain or a hill. Mow the grass. Weed the garden. Plant a garden. Cut some flowers to bring inside.

Whatever you decide to do, just be sure to enjoy the day, the sunshine, and the fresh air. Tomorrow it may be raining or snowing, seize the day!

What are some of your favorite things to do on a beautiful day?

  1. I like to take my dog Rex to the mountain ridge and look at the passing cars on the freeway.
