Quality Time on the Weekend
Do you have any plans for the weekend? I hope you do. If you don’t, check out the cultural page in your local paper or on the Internet-or just sit down, and think of some things that you want to do.
I hope to go on a small road trip this weekend. I have a few ideas, but my wife and I haven’t decided exactly where to go.
What you do on the weekend obviously depends on the weather. If it’s nice and warm outside, we often play in the water. This means that we could have a water fight with squirt guns outside the house. Or we could go to the ocean and splash in the water there. When it’s really cold, we like to go sledding. You can play and go on man-made slopes with the neighborhood kids.
So, what’s it going to be this weekend-indoor stuff: bowling, shopping, walking around a museum? Or outdoor stuff: going for a hike, a bike a ride, or simple a walk? Of course, you can always stay home and play a board game or watch a family video all together on the kitchen table while just talking to each other. It’s nice to work together as a team.
I hope to spend some quality time with my family even if it’s for a short time. I want to focus on the quality. I hope you and your loved ones also get to spend some quality time together. It’s not just how much time you spend with someone but how well you spend the time with that person that counts. It’s the quality, NOT the quantity, that’s important.
Remember… if you don’t have a plan for the weekend yet, take a moment, and make one!
