You may not make it to the track this year, but how about a themed party? Pimento sandwiches, a big hat, and purple trimmings at the table. Whether you claim the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, or the Belmont Stakes, ramp it up with the pomp and circumstance of the real thing. You'll feel you are really there!
I listened to a podcast where a blind man revealed his need for sunglasses on bright summer days, telling that his eyes ached afterwards if he didn't wear good ones. For the rest of us, let's take that message to heart! Sunglasses out, now go!
Bust that bad mood with time outdoors! Sun exposure not only provides you with vitamin D, but you can also banish that melancholy moment, get better sleep, and promote your overall health just by exposure to the brilliance of a sunny day. Now, out and about! The outdoors is calling!
Don't overschedule! It's easy to say yes to every invite, then feel pressure to reciprocate. Before your calendar becomes packed, block out some YOU time. Then, when it comes along, you can say, "Oh, I have something scheduled that day." Your time? SECURED!
Summertime is often fast-food time. When you order a hamburger, flip it over and eat it upside down. The top bun is usually thicker and will absorb all those yummy juices without falling apart. Better burger, done!
