He are a few ideas to jump start y our creative thinking......
Join the National Geographic Society and go to their lectures, etc....
Take a belly dancing class (a girlfriend did this and loved it...made a lot of friends).
Join a nature club....get your family to watch the kids...and hike a part of the Applachian trail for two or three days, next summer....
Volunteer some of your time to work at your local food pantry (there is on en every community). Take you kids...if they are old enough....
Join a garden club.....and learn flower arranging and care...you can deliver flowers to rehab facilities and hospits.
Join a crafting club....great fun and you can carry the skills over with your kids....
