Here’s another thought provoking writing prompt from Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop.

Thirty things I vow to do this summer…hmmm…I’m never one to vow to do anything.  I believe it’s all in the hands of God, so with that being said, here’s a list of thirty things I hope to accomplish this summer, God Willing:

1. Learn to just “go with it”.  I’m a worrier and a perfectionist, and most of the time that seems to get in the way of living life.
2. Get back into the swing of writing well, and writing often.  It’s been so ling since I’ve written with some semblance of a routine.  I love to write, and  just need to do it often so I can improve.
3. Finish crocheting my plarn (plastic yarn) shopping tote.  You can read my DIY Friday! post on how to make your own recycled plastic bag tote here.
4. Learn to crochet using real yarn.
5. Organize the house.
6. Visit my parents more often.
7. Go hiking.
8. Have a picnic with my family.
9. Garden more.
10. Start working out regularly again.
11. Finish painting my bathroom.
12. Permanently fix the sound on my laptop – big sigh!
13. Learn how to properly fix the few errors I have with the Google site map submission for my other blog, Green Earth Bazaar.  It’s driving me nuts!
14. Make my own body butter.
15. Learn to ride a bicycle.  Ha! – got you there.  Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.  It’s been so long though, I may have forgotten.
16. Make some beeswax candles.  I love candle light, it’s so relaxing.
17. Start making my own bread (yeast breads) from scratch again.
18. Read my way through some of the many books I have stashed away in nearly every corner of my bedroom.
19. Get outside more often.
20. Build something.  What I’m not really sure, maybe a table or bench – something I can use outside.
21. Do something good for a charity or a cause.
22. Be more social.
23. Finally dust off the light fixtures in the ceiling.  I can’t remember when I did it last…shame on me.
24. Make more time to pamper myself.  Yeah, I’m worth it.
25. Learn to be more patient.  No wonder it’s a virtue, huh?
26. Try not to cringe (that much) when a certain someone’s mother shows up without phoning (again), and try to hold my tongue (and not explode from doing so) when that someone says something crummy and insensitive like that certain someone always seems to do.  You know what I’m talking about my fellow married sistahs.
27. Eat more chocolate.  A girl can dream can’t she?
28. Fix my sewing machine…and use it.
29. Cook up some homemade nectar for our humming bird feeder.  I love watching our humming birds, they’re amazing.
30. Reinvent the wheel.  Nah, just kidding.  I think the wheel’s just fine the way it is.

Peace.
