My "Carpe Diem" Summer


Lots of things in my life will probably change this Summer. I am moving out of my apartment (to where is still being decided), I may be living in a new city with a new job with new people...so I need to make this Summer the Biggest and Best yet.

Who's with me????

I want to do a "TOP 50 Summer" - which means I want to do 50 Things that I Wouldn't Normally Do...to enliven my life and encourage me to "Seize the Day!" I think I will call it My "Carpe Diem" Summer.

Here's What I Am Planning (thus far):

1. Drive for a day to an unexpected place - without a map or GPS...seeing what I find and then use my GPS to get back home.

2. Be a Vegetarian for a week.

3. Actually go dancing in the street.

4. Volunteer at a local charity.

5. Watch the sun rise on the beach.

6. Make my own interpretation of a "Dream Catcher"

7. Tell someone how I "honestly" feel about them.

8. Watch some old classic movies I have been "too busy" to watch.

9. Make something special and unique for my mom, dad and brother to show them how much they mean to me.

10.Surprise a friend in someway (with a gift, a visit, etc.)

11.Create a huge scavenger hunt for some of my friends so we can go crazy finding the items.

12.Throw a themed party.

13.Spend one whole day in my pajamas.

14.Turn my cell phone, computer and tv off for a weekend and create a relaxing retreat for myself.

15.Walk through the forest and observe nature.

16.Go visit my family, who live in other states.

17.Watch a sunset.

18.Attend daily mass for a whole 2 weeks.

19.Finish writing my One-Act.

20.Write a poem for someone and then read it to them.

21. Attend a wine tasting.

Any suggestions????

You already dance in the street anyway. I think something you could do would be to take a digital camera, put it on video, and make a short little cooking show and upload it to YouTube, or here. This is a dare. I bet it will be amazing!!!
