This could be a solo excursion or a fun family activity. Do a hobby you enjoy like scrapbooking, gardening, painting or hiking. Nothing is quite as relaxing as drifting along in a body of cool water during the summer. No need to swim laps, just sticking your feet in or lounging on a raft should be enough for that extra recharge.

Every night I dried the dishes (Mom washed), every weekend in spring, summer and fall I trimmed up the grass around the house, gardens and trees with the hand clippers. I also had to iron, make my bed, clean the wood floors in my bedroom, help Dad when he worked on the car and help out with special projects (like painting the rental house).

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. We also like to have enough means to travel and visit family and friends, so being frugal in some areas helps us be generous in others. And art supplies: I like to paint and draw, so every now and then I splash out.

The family behind us, for instance, lived for years in their basement with their brood of kids (they ended up with around 15 I remember). Mom had a vegetable garden and grew sweet corn. They used the berries to make a purple die and painted their own and each others bodies with it! Poverty is subjective.
