Do Something

Dear Friends,

Summer is winding down.  How can we make the most of it?  Take time together today to write a list of things you can do during the long summer days.  This is your Do Something list.  Here’s how it works.  For each of the topics below, write what you can do.  I’ve given you an example to get you thinking. 

Do Something Adventurous: take a family hike at a State Park

Do Something Intelligent: visit your local library and read a novel by your favorite author

Do Something Kind: mow your elderly neighbor’s lawn

Do Something Silly: play dress up with your family and go out for ice cream 

Do Something New: go birdwatching

Do Something Early:  watch a sunrise

Do Something Creative:  paint a mural of your neighborhood

Do Something Scientific:  perform an experiment on why helium balloons float

Do Something Green:  recycle old batteries lying in the kitchen drawer

Do Something Old-fashioned:  write a letter on paper to a friend or relative in another state 

Once you have your ideas on paper, you are ready to get moving.  Live life to the fullest! Be active. Do something good for yourself, for others, and for your community.  This summer, Love In A Big World!

Love, Tamara
