How about a themed week?

Thinking again. 

A week with a theme, something light, fun, uncomplicated. A color, a fruit, a flower, a tree, a math symbol, spend less, collect pennies.

You can select a theme for each week of the month or decide when the week starts. With a mini festival vibe, a theme topic can be a mental health enhancement. 

If the theme week gets boring, then change up your focus to subjects that serve you mood best. 

Thinking into summer, my first theme is Magazines: Old or buy new, read every article, and look through it during a sit outdoors. I prefer old magazines. “Yankee Magazine,” is a favorite. Gathering the June editions I have will be an intro view of summer.

The week after will be music. In fifth grade I could read and play music on a clarinet. It has been years since I’ve read music. Time to relearn that skill. 

Moving into July 2026, colors, stripe colors. A sprinkle of stripes on a beach towel, umbrella, tee shirt, dress, sandals, or a shirt are cheery. I can browse online; and, paint my own stripe fabric designs.

A simple diversion from the routines we fall into might turn out to be more fun than anticipated.
