Right. So, awhile back I stated that I was tired of just existing and I wanted to live again. This is kind of a day one thing, because I have months of summer ahead, two kids to spend it with and friends to get to know better and open myself up to. That's the short version, but here is the complete list of what I hope to accomplish with the summer (in no particular order).
[ ] Learn how to drive (conquering irrational fears 101)
[ ] Go see dinosaurs with the munchkins
[ ] Have a date night (or even a few) with my amazing husband
[ ] Learn how to belly dance
[ ] Volunteer with a sexual or domestic abuse organization
[ ] Make it to the Shore as much as possible (I miss the ocean, even if it's not the right ocean)
[ ] Write at least two blogs a week in a consolidated place (here), no matter how silly they may end up being
[ ] Put together that poetry/art book I keep meaning to do with my little sister
[ ] Explore as much of nature as I can
[ ] Spend as little time on the Interwebs as possible
[ ] Get everything together to go back to school
[ ] Play tennis at least once a week
[ ] Join a gym
[ ] Do at least one amazing big art project with the little ones
[ ] Remind myself each and every day how very thankful I am for everything I have in my life
[ ] Take my kids to their first baseball game (Phillies and Giants so everyone is happy)
[ ] Figure out exactly what it takes and get started on running a publishing company
[ ] Write some short stories that don't suck
[ ] Stop worrying so much about poisonous people
[ ] Embrace each and every day to it's fullest, no matter what
That's all I can think of right now, but the last really includes just knowing when to recognize opportunities and jump on them. Something I'm way too afraid of doing in my life.
Peace, love and kittens. <3 Hope your summer is as amazing as it can be as well.
