Weekend Check-In June 21-23, 2019
Hi everyone in the 50+ community. Its already Friday again. 
. Have you made any plans for the weekend, is there something you like to do?
Today I also like to share some lines with you I recently read and found interesting.
In a study participants were asked to write about their best possible future selves. When the researchers checked in with participants five months later, writing about life goals were associated with a lower rate of illness during that five-month period but it was also associated with a significant increase in subjective well-being right after the study.
Is this something you would consider to do or are you doing it already in some way?

@amiablePeace77 thanks for the reminder about the weekend but I start feeling it about Thursday night 
I guess one of the joys I find is doing simple things on the weekend. I just made some carob cake sweetened with banana. Delicious and nutritious.
There are always things to do around a house but on a weekend that I am off it is much more relaxed. Have fun.
@soulsings
Carob cake with banana widens my eyes instantly 😮 😄 - yummy! Weekend is for relax, I agree, all the things which have to be done around the house can be done during the week so that one can really feel the difference between week day and weekend.
@amiablePeace77 yes me too and fills my tummy too. lol
@soulsings
hahaha, so true 😄

@Zengrl
Dinner sounds nice, particularly as reward after your work. What's your favorite cuisine for having dinner outside?
@amiablePeace77 We pick a different place/cuisine each time. The last one was middle-eastern with delicious falafel 🙂
@Zengrl
yummy falafel, mmh.
I like the idea of changing restaurants so that it does not get boring.
I have a gig the next ten days- cleaning for the pro golf tournament at Notre Dame. This is a very good thing, as I haven't made much money the past year and get anxious about that. So if any of you catch interviews with the golfers, on Fox Sports, please take note of the beautifully vacuumed floors in the media center. LOL
OK, truth is that I don't care about golf, nor ND. Today was the first time that I got up early in the morning, like normal people, to go to work. I am hard core evenings or overnight worker. Yes, a night owl. Mornings are awful. There you have it. I am working this weekend, and I am grateful to make a few bucks.
@Chickadee123 This made me smile as my husband is a camera guy for a lot of sports. I used to do set decorating for film and got to help choose furniture and accessories. Maybe you could up the cleaning to set decorating 😊. Anyway, good for you for landing a job and I hope it goes well.
@Chickadee123
I will do for sure particularly now that you mention it. Glad you got that gig to cover your living costs and maybe even put some money away, it will hopefully give you some peace of mind. Waking up early whilst your inner clock tells yougo, stay in bed, sucks and is truly hard but thumbs up for your dedication to achieve your goal to earn money.
I'd like to exercise and get good quality sleep!
Thank you for the amazing check-in!
Ah, my future self. This has been very much on my mind lately. In a couple of months, I hope to move in with my girlfriend. In somewhat more than a year, I shall retire. I hope to resolve the one or two issues we have, and possibly get married. That would mean a new house. Happily married and in a new house seems pretty good.
@Offmytrack
Wonderful design of your future . I hope everything will work out as planned.
@amiablePeace77, so do I.
