One of my favorite words would have to be summer. Just hearing the word instantly fills me with hope! Summer is a time of laughter, a time of beaches and sand (and not worrying about being sandy) and smoothies and carefree evenings with the promise of relaxation the next day, too. Summer is a time of family and a time of friends.
At the beginning of summer each year I try to make a list of things to accomplish. My list is not very long this year, because usually I make huge lists and accomplish nothing. So, without further adieu:
1. Read at least 20 books this summer. (Books that you enjoy. If you don't enjoy a book you pick up, change books.)
2. Memorize at least 5 poems of varying length. (You never know when you'll need a good poem.)
3. Clean room at least 1 time each week. (Because cleanliness will relax my mind more.)
There you have it! Voila! (I know, this is a very nerdy list of things, but it's what I love.)
Summer here we come, folks!
Interesting list. I like #1 - only 20 books? That's only 2/week! #2 - Have you selected the poems to memorize? #3 - clean your room 1 time/week. Good goal. Will you keep it? If you need to drop any, drop the third one. Life's too short to keep a room clean. Go do something fun. (I would have never told my teenage kids that! Now that they're grown and on their own, I'm a strong advocate of life's too short!)
