1. Whittling.


If you want something that is simple yet you would be proud of, whittling is for you. All you need is a front porch with a rocking chair, a knife, and some soft wood. Its great for giving yourself a project and being able to set your mind at ease.

2. Hiking/Camping.

Go return to your roots and get in touch with nature, hiking and camping can be great with friends and getting out of the office and enjoy some nice refreshing air. The resource http://trails.com can be used to find trails near you so you can get out and roam.

3. Fishing.

You've seen all the Instagram photos of those guys who manage to reel in some of the biggest fish you've seen. Well now in the summer is a great time for you to get out there and perfect and hone your fishing skills. If you've never been, everyone knows someone who loves to fish and would also love an excuse to get back out there and offer some wisdom.

4. Kayak and canoeing.

Think of any place that has water. Well there is a kayak or canoe there for you. Canoeing and kayaking is not only a great way to enjoy lakes and rivers, but also can be a nice little workout too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
