Three Things You Must Do This Weekend

Ye Old Chestnut

We are looking at what could very well be the last decent stretch of warm weather of the year. Over the weekend, here are three things you MUST do instead of working. One can always work when the winter winds are blowing and you are up to your ass in snow.

1) Walk, do not run, jog or drive, through a stand of woods. Walking through the woods allows you to become a part of the landscape and allows you to see, hear, smell and feel the changes that the woods are going through as autumn brings the end of the season. Colors are going to be near peak this weekend. Do not miss it.

2) If you are able to get outside, play football. Whether you are young, old, male or female, football is a part of fall. You can't really say you have experienced an autumn without having at least thrown a football. If you are able to run, there is no greater pleasure in sports than watching a football into your hands and then crossing the goal line. If you can't play football, at least go watch a game somewhere and be sure to cheer for the home team.

3) Take a family picture. Capture the look of autumn along with the feeling of family. There is just something about fall colors which brings out the best in lighting, complexion and shadows in just about anyone. You have to TRY to take a bad picture in autumn.

God is beckoning you outside the next three days, He is giving you one last taste of summer, Enjoy it.
