Daring to be....Me

It's funny to think that this time last year I was getting anxious to leave CA and head back to the States. I was dreaming of all the things I would be able to do and the people I would see. Of course the summer months (which meant July and August for me) flew by and I was a bit sad to think that I would not be around the coming year to accomplish more.

Well, here I am...nearly 11 months later and I'm still Stateside. Looking at my current situation, I realize I have a choice. I can either choose to be anxious now about leaving this place or I can be content with having another opportunity to soak up the blessings of yet another summer.

I decided to choose the latter.

So in honor of this decision (and as a result of inspiration from her posts about seizing the moments here in America), my new motto is...

"Anything and Everything Summer."

Here's a beginner's list of just some of the things we have to accomplish:

1. Concerts in the Park
2. Farmer's Market....followed by ice cream
3. Sand Volleyball
4. Baseball Games (plural)
   
5. BBQ's (plural)
6. Frozen Drinks
7. Millenium Park in Chi-town
   
8. Zoo trip
9. Road Trips with the perfect soundtrack and the windows down
10. Swimming, sunbathing, and pointless magazine reading
    
11. Shakespeare Festival
12. Eat popsicles

Any other ideas?
