How Do You Spend a Weekend?

      Another weekend for all of us guys. For sure, we have various activities in mind so as to make a fruitful and a relaxing weeeknd. And how could we really spend our weekend? I tried to check online and found interesting activities for us to spend one.  

1. Planning for the future- 

* Goal setting- Reflect on your goals and aspirations then try to come up with concrete steps to realise them. 

* Budgeting- this is very relevant especially with our present world challenges like Covid virus plus the inflation nowadays so try to review your finances and create a budget for the upcoming month.

2. Volunteering- performing  a community service: one of the meaningful acts that you can do on this weekend is by dedicating some time to volunteer for a local charity or community project.

3. Exploration  and  adventure- 

*. Day Trip- actually this one is my favourite together with my wife. Try to explore nearby towns and attractions for s change of scenery.

* Visit a Museum- spend a day at any museum or a cultureal institution and be amazed by their wonders.

4.  Relaxation and Self Care- 

* Read a book - find a cozy sport and dive into a book you've been meaning to read. You can always find interesting topics that suit your taste. 

* Take a bath- relax with a soothing bath perhaps with some scented oils and bath bombs.

* Meditate- practice mindfulness and meditation to help clear your mind and reduce stress.  This one though could be very fruitful if there's a continuum from day one to the follow up days.

* Picnic- grab your bag and pack a picnic to enoy a meal outdoors with friends or family. 

* Bike ride- take a leisurely bike ride in your neiborhood or a scenic route.

6. Creative pursuits- 

* Art or Craft- take part in a creative activity such as painting, drawing or crafting. 

* Writing- start a journal, write poetry or work on a short story or a blog post. Writiung a blog is my personal weeeknd favourite activity. 

7. Socializing- 

* Friends and family- spend time with loved ones, whether it is a casual get together dinner or a game night. 

* Attend events- check for local events, concerts or community gatherings. 

8. Fitnes and wellbeing-

      For sure, aside from these enumerated activites, you can still find other noteworthy activities that can make you busy for the weekend. Consistently remember that our bodies need to be busy so as to produce positive output and growth. 

                                                                          

The Beauty of Having A Family

     Having a family of my own is one of the most precious gifts I have ever received in my life. The two precious persons in my life are my wife and our son. Thus I am so grateful to the Lord for showering me with these two wonderful people. All my hard work and efforts every single day are dedicated for their welfare since I want them to be always happy.

     My role as a father, as a husband and as a provider is not easy. Everyday I and other fathers are faced with challenges but because of the presence of my family, things then becomes light and achievable. I think and believe that to make our family members happy is one of our most important role. A house is not complete without the presence of love on each of the members of the household. Love and respect are the major traits that a family should possess. It is given that even members of the same family could be different from one another and this is normal since we are created unique from each other. And do you know why we are created as such? Personally I believe that one of those reasons is that for us to be able to appreciate the presence of each one. 

                                                              

     In life, we can't do everything. We need somebody to guide us the right way and at times to enlighten us when the road seems to be dark and lonely. I am saddened by events when families break up and children are divided since it normally results to pain on each one. The pain of separation is so immense and the after effect is felt over one's lifetime. Thus it is the main responsibility of both fathers and mothers to keep the family intact and that children are living positively and happily inside of it.
