Visit local sights. Winter weekends are the perfect time. Set a goal to be a tourist in your own town and recruit a friend or family member to tag along. Ordinary, humdrum weekends will be a thing of the past. Volunteer each week.
Few things can alter a sagging attitude like volunteering.
Deliver groceries to the homebound or work at the homeless shelter. You'll soon be counting your blessings and spending less time as a couch potato. Start a new hobby. Winter is a great time to start something completely new and different. You'll be eager to get home from work to delve into your stained glass project, watercolor painting, candle-making or ballroom dancing practice.
