It’s mid July already. Unbelievable. Summer time goes by so fast. One glass of lemonade, a week at camp and all seems to blur. So, here are a few of my goals for the remainder of the summer:
1. Take time each day to enjoy the kids. With intention I’m going to ‘hang’ with those teenage humans in my house…under the guise of something else of course.
2. Walk or bike to my mailbox each day. Nothing like anticipating some ‘real’ mail.
3. Keep scheduling to a minimum. I want the calendar to have more blank spots. To do whatever.
4. Make time to write and send a postcard from my home city each week. We often wait until we travel somewhere to send a postcard, but I think reversing this would be fun.
5. I’m also going to give number nine a try from this list of 12 things to try this summer.
Speaking of postcards, instead of throwing them out, why not try some of these ideas to give second life to your postcards.
What about you? What goals do you have for the rest of your summer?
Good choices Barb. I could actually bike or walk to my mailbox since it’s at the end of a two car driveway for me :)…. I have many cool vintage postcards that I want to use up. That was the intent when I bought that batch of 25. I suspect though my usual recipient victims are very near finishing the woodshed wallpaper job using the ones I’ve already sent.
I want to find the right nice encouraging letters to nowhere program. Or maybe I make my on. The kind where you just leave a note on a park bench that reads generic but encouraging for anyone that picks it up. I’m sure half of them will get tossed and never read but a few that do just may be what someone needed to see that day.
Bob, such a great idea about using the vintage postcards to send to friends. I like to do this too, except that I find so hard to part with them. I definitely think you should leave a note on a bench and see what happens…have you heard of benchdiary.com? I did a post a while back on it. Very cool. Thanks for stopping in for a visit.
