Going to a nice park

True being outside in a park is a nice feeling

If I'm by myself there are lots of options. I like to read, so reading books from the local public library is perhaps the best free activity. And speaking of the library, mine has various free options for things to watch on Kanopy or Hoopla. And just going out for a walk (though not in this heat) or a bike ride is great. Depending on where you live, there can be public parks, gardens, zoos, museums, or whatever.

Love these suggestions! I actually do have a list of books that I haven’t gotten around to
