This month, why not make a list of all the things you can do for free?  Let’s keep this clean, people!  I mean all the events/places you can attend free-of-charge.  We sometimes forget, when times are a bit “challenging” that there are still ways of having fun and enjoying ourselves without shelling out a fortune.

 

Here’s a start:

1. Find out what galleries/museums have free entry.
2. Make a picnic and take it to the park instead of going to a restaurant.
3. Challenge your friends to a competition e.g. frisbee, football, beach volleyball, boules.
4. Arrange a meal where everyone brings a different course and BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle).
5. Drive outside the city lights at night and look at the stars.
6. Visit your botanical gardens (in many cities these have free entry) and enjoy the fruits of someone else’s hard work.

I think you get the idea.  Maybe none of these is your particular favourite, but I know there are easy, inexpensive treats we can all avail of, if we put our minds to it.  One of mine is playing “Risk” with the family (it’s a board game based on world domination!) great for unleashing hidden megalomaniac in all of us!

 

When you have your list made, start putting them into practice, and have fun!

 

Let me know what you’re favourites are.  I’ll put some in next month’s newsletter.

   Hi Daria,

   Great topic to start. The simple things in life are often the background to our most precious memories (like cooking with Mom). (Well! I just had a good cry - how did you get me to release that from over the Internet, my dear life coach?? You are good.)

   Meant to suggest LIBRARIES as a source of free recreation. Go with family, friends, or solo. Browse books, DVDs, and much more. Many libraries offer free events like story-telling, guest lectures, concerts, how-to classes, and house local history collections.

   Extend the pleasure by borrowing resources and enjoying them at home. Take turns reading Tom Sawyer aloud to one another, and it will never, ever be forgotten.

   There should never be nothing fun to do on a rainy day (or any day). Libraries - oh, yeah!
