Activities that you could do over the long weekend that won’t
break your wallet
Some people say money is everything
because everything needs money. However, not having enough money shall not be
made an excuse to waste our precious weekends. There are so many activities
that we can do on weekends which do not require us to rob a bank.
The first activity is reading. For
those of you who do not like to read, let me share with you a few health
benefits of reading. Before that, let me remind you about one important fact of
life. All of us will become old and weak whether we like it or not. In order to
keep the mind young and sharp, reading is the only remedy. When you read a book
especially a novel, that imagination of yours while reading every word will
keep your mind young and active. When you read the newspaper, some
controversial topics will keep your mind busy arguing with yourself in your own
mind regarding the issues. On the other hand, those who love to read have a lot
to share with others. Their general knowledge is awesome.
Pot-luck is one of the most
economical but fun activities that you could do on weekends while watching your
favourite movies. You may decide which family or which friend will come up with
a particular menu so that you will have a variety of dishes at home. In your WhatsApp
group, you can also propose the type of movie that you want to watch together
that night. This two-in-one activity will definitely leave meaningful and
wonderful memories for each of you especially your children.
To be religious is not something that
is easy to achieve but doing good deeds at religious centres is something that
everyone can do. Whether you are a Moslem, Christian, Buddhist or Hindus, there
must be something that you can do at your own places of worship. Taking care of
the traffic, mopping the floor, cleaning the toilets and cleaning the
cemeteries are some of the charity work that you can do at the mosques,
churches and temples on weekends. On the other hand, for those of you who are
good at technical work, you may help to replace the malfunctioning lights or
fans or perhaps fix the air-conditioners.
If you have friends who love
adventure, climbing mountains or exploring nature is one of the most meaningful
activity that you can do on weekends. Not only it is good for your overall
health but nature has its own unique way to heal our feelings especially when
we feel down. At the same time, taking pictures of nature can give you an extra
income if you submit them to certain websites that appreciate good pictures. On
the other hand, as you get older, the only thing that you will have will be
those pictures of you and your good friends and loved ones hiking mountains
together. Those pictures will give you a long smile as you travel back to the
past as the old saying goes “ a picture is worth thousands of words”.
Blogging is also another activity
that you should keep in mind. You can either use Blogger or WordPress as your
first platform as they are free to use. You may write anything you wish. If you
love gardening, you can write about tips about gardening and fruits at your
garden. If you love cooking, you can share your secret recipes and pictures of
your own personal delicacies. If you love to motivate others, you can help
others online. You may meet some new people who could be your online friends or
fans. You can exchange points of view about certain topics which may make you
more knowledgeable or wiser.
In conclusion, weekends are short.
Therefore, make it as interesting and as wonderful as possible so that Monday
would stop bothering you. ( 642 words)
