DID YOU KNOW
Gone With The Wind has been the best-attended film since its release in 1939. Without a doubt the most famous line in the movie is when Rhett Butler tells Scarlet O'Hara, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." According to "Curse Control", a book by James O'Connor, director David Selznick was fined heavy for that curse word: $5,000. A lot of money in those days. The movie is based on the book by Margaret Mitchell. It was the only book she wrote.

TIP OF THE DAY
How to Relax on a Weekend
By
Sylvia Cochran


Step1
Commit your schedule to relaxing. Just like you put your child’s ballet recital and your boss’ meeting on the calendar, relaxing also needs to be scheduled or it most likely fails to happen. Block out a chunk of time and do not double book yourself!

Step2
Exercise your power to say “no.” Although many a hard worker and dedicated friend feels awkward about saying “no” when asked to help a friend move, a teacher put together a classroom, or an overworked boss to prepare for the big meeting, if the request to do so falls into the scheduled block of relaxation time, you must exercise your “no.” Make yourself available before or after your scheduled relaxation time, but not during the block of time!

Step3
Reconnect with your family. Relaxing on weekends means spending time with your family, especially the kids. This is not the time for homework and getting the costume for the recital ready, but instead it is a time to not have to do anything! Play games, lounge in your backyard pool, dust off your guitar and sing together, or just do a crossword puzzle with your older ones.

Step4
Remember that pets are family, too! Do not shortchange your dog, but instead pack the family in the car for a drive just so that Fluffy can let its ears flap in the breeze. Even if the drive takes little more than an hour, your family pet is sure to appreciate the extra attention it might have lacked during the workweek.

Step5
Reconnect with yourself. Take some time away from everyone and plan a quiet morning on the golf course, a lonely hike up a trail, or just a drive in the car by yourself. Pop in your favorite CD, sing along to the tunes, listen to a favorite radio show, or just enjoy the peace and quiet.


Step6
Relax your body along with your mind. The previous steps focused on relaxing your mind but do not forget to also relax your body on the weekend! There are several exercises you might follow, but the hands down best is vigorous exertion followed by structured breathing exercises and a long hot shower or bath. You can almost feel your muscle groups relaxing one at a time as you do this!
