……………………………………………………..

Did you know that the process of planning leisure time actually lowers stress, even days before you actually enjoy the time off? Plan your weekend… differently. We often go out-of-town to get away from it all at the end of a long work week. There is probably a gift shop, gallery or establishment offering activities or tours right in your community that you have not visited in a long time. Plan a visit. Then, plan a family meal with a twist: everyone must try at least one dish or food they have never eaten before. Ho! And if you do visit a local gift shop this coming weekend, buy a little something to remind you of your simple, delightful weekend near home.
