Our family, our friends, our hobbies, our goals, and our dreams are all part of us and what make our lives so special and so great. Get out and enjoy this beautiful weekend. If you get an extra day off because of the upcoming holiday – even better!

Rejuvenate yourself this weekend. Maybe you wore heels all week, or sat for too long in your office chair. Do something that refreshes and rejuvenates you and reflect on ways you can make minor tweaks next week so rejuvenation on the next weekend is that much easier!
Get one thing done you put off during the week. We all do it. We all say, I don’t have time for it this week – I’m too busy, I’ll do it on the weekend. If you did this and said that– then get it done. Keep that promise to yourself, but make sure you didn’t over promise. Don’t do a ton of chores. Chores are okayinshort spurtsonce in a while on the weekend, but should not be your entire focus.
Volunteer & give back. Spend some time paying all your good fortune forward. It could be a simple gesture by holding open a door or maybe you really want to go for it and plant trees with your local park & rec district. Whatever it is – have fun and be glad you can give back.
