Calendar Books by Allen James daily thoughts are meant to stimulate thinking and encourage action to a more positive journey through life.  My explanation of each day's thought printed in my daily Calendar Books is just this, "my explanation" of how the thought influenced my life.  Each of us has our own application of each daily thought.  Make application to daily life and watch life change, for the better.

"Attend social events" (James, 2012).

"I'm bored!" "There's nothing to do around here!" "Why am I just sitting at home all the time?" These phrases are often heard said by teenagers who seem to think if life isn't a party, then it stinks. Adults can also think these same thoughts when our lives are getting in a "funk". Going through the daily motions of getting out of bed, showering, dressing for work, having coffee/breakfast, seeing the kids off, driving to work, getting home, going through the evening routine, heading to bed and then doing the same thing over and over and over leaves little time for social activities. And when would we fit it into our schedule anyway?

The fact of the matter is there are social events going on all the time. Whether it be at the church we attend or at the community center in where we live, social events are scheduled regularly in most towns/cities. Fitting a special event into our schedules ever so often is a must for social interaction and sporadic breaks from our regular routines. These give us a chance to express ourselves socially and to take a breather from what seems mundane.

Having recently relocated to extreme western Alaska for a job, I'm realizing more and more each day how I'm having to "make application" of my own daily  thoughts published in my daily Calendar Books.  Knowing not a soul in a remote town on the fringes of civilization is for certain a challenge.  Social events come by way of "The Mud Hut", a coffee shop/restaurant I pass on my daily walk to and from my cabin.  Or the Cultural Center up the road about a mile and a half which houses a library as well; great places to socialize and meet others faced with the same challenges as I.  



Seek out social events if you need to. Attend a play at the local community theater. Head to the area education center for a lecture on an historic topic. Find a cultural event which sounds interesting.

Attend social events. You'll return to your routine thinking fresh and feeling renewed.

Keep looking up. : ) AJ
