Places For Entertainment
Turning off the TV would be a good start.
Pick up a book, a newspaper, or a magazine that doesn’t
have yet another celebrity’s drinking problem on the
cover. Go to a museum, a gallery, an exhibit, a film festival,
a theatrical production, a classical concert, or a jazz
concert. Take a dance class, a cooking class, or even an
investment class. Do a crossword puzzle. Do a jigsaw puzzle.
Learn a language, learn an instrument, or plan an exotic
holiday just for fun. Phew! I’m sure you get the idea.
