I hope you had a good Thanksgiving holiday. I know I did. I ventured
down to Miami
to celebrate Thanksgiving with a friend. Ryan, my friend, lives right in South Beach,
about a block away from the ocean. Most of my holiday, including Thanksgiving Day,
was spent sunbathing and swimming in the ocean. I even made a trip down to Key West, which was
beautiful. Overall, the trip was fantastic. It was a great opportunity to get
away and come back hope refocused.
Waiting in the airport for my delayed flight, I had some
time to think. I realized that winter is definitely upon us – and time is limited
for outdoor activities. So I started thinking of some ways to keep busy while
indoors during the winter months. Below are the ones I thought of. Many of them
are for the kids – but adults are more welcome to do them too.
Play a board game. Whether
it’s Life, Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit – board games provide a great way to keep
busy and keep your mind engaged.
Build a fort. All
you need are a few chairs, some blankets and you’ve got yourself a fort. The
best is when you build a fort around the TV and then watch a movie.
Complete a floor
puzzle. They come in all sizes and difficulties but they will keep your
mind sharp and engaged for hours.
Make your own music
video. Making a video is easier than ever with all the video recorders on
the market. Retailers even sell disposable video recorders now.
Try a fitness tape. Taebo, Tai Chi or Jane Fonda– all great ways to get some aerobic exercise.
