Every summer many of us take vacation. This summer, reclaim yourself. Take some time to come a little closer to the person you’d like to be. What are you planning for your next break to make that happen?
I've been trying to get in better shape. As a result, I've been riding my bike every day, and walking during lunch when I can. I plan on not letting my good efforts go by the side during vacation so I don't have to schedule a "make-up" period when I get back.
I seriously want to avoid turning my desired life change into work, I want it to be a true change in the direction of how I live my life.
I am going to try and find a place in myself where I can enjoy my children this summer. I am going to reclaim my inner child and begin to relish in the summer months as I did when I was a child. I plan on enjoying the sun, pool and the wonderful treats of summer.
I am going to volunteer to the local animal shelter as animals cannot always fend for themselves. I am excited to do that on Saturdays! Also to teach Self Defense for kids with peace...
I try to volunteer in animal shelters as well, but it always tears me up because their living condition is generally ... well, awful. As a child I always wanted to start an animal shelter, and I think about it often... it would be hard, but worthwhile, I'd try to make sure that they'd have a decent staying with good hygiene. Perhaps I just attempt it this summer, it could be an amazing experience.
I like to spend some time just with myself, to get to know me even better and find the silent space within me. I enjoy my own company and feel that in doing that, I feel more content and at peace with myself and only than I can give myself to others.
Frankly I'd like to dedicate time to myself. For a year or so I feel that this has been impossible for me. Lately I've just been dividing myself for everyone, a fraction for my boyfriend, another chunk for work, another one for school, and another one for volunteer work etc.
I used to enjoy having movie nights by myself, or just walking to the park or driving up to the outskirts to witness the sun set. It seems that I hesitate to be alone nowadays, you get used to being surrounded by people, and at times this can affect you, because everyone needs that time alone, for themselves, to collect thoughts, to analyze, to bond with yourself.
I'm going to isolate myself at least for a weekend and just dedicate time to myself. I need that time alone, almost desperately.
I am trying to get back to the shape I was a few years ago. I decided that working on my body and shaping it into the figure I want is a priority to me. When I see my muscles forming, I feel powerful and self confident.
I'll be running a lot through the summer with a friend of mine and the baby occassionally in tow.
I hope to go to the beach one time, visit an aunt-in-law and cousin-in-law in Marin County, hike Half Dome in Yosemite and actually have tomatoes and peppers to give away (in other words, improve my green thumbs).
I think it's great what people said about getting in shape, getting out doors and spending time with children ... what's the point of being indoors when you can be outside?
I hardly spend quality time with my family. This summer I am dedicating time to be with them. It's so hard to keep up to date with your loved ones, but I live in the same city they do so I really have no solid excuse, except for being lazy and unmotivated. I might plan a vacation this summer, nothing too far, I want to keep it green. Maybe going camping or something of the like. But most def. spending time with the family.
I am going to try and find a hobby. One that will take me a million miles away when I am totally absorbed in it. I used to bead and I really like the creative part of it. Maybe I'll start it up again or maybe I'll try an entirely new area of interest. This summer, I also want to read some more. I love sitting by the pool with a good book!!
There's a lot of history there and I love history. And from what I hear, it is beautiful up there. Alot of open country. Plus its in my price range, which helps.
I am also interested in paranormal research. A lot of my friends have been there and pretty much all of them have caught something odd on film or video. And I don't mean orbs. Check it out on www.eastghost.com.
My best friend's dad is taking her 11 year old daugher there this summer too, I just found out. It seems Sophie is interested in history as well. Let us know if you catch anything on tape. I bet there are a lot of stories to be told and many unsettled souls.

I'm going to explore the outdoors. I recently moved to Boise, Idaho from Boston -- It's a different world out here!
Namaste,

I've had alot of life changes this year and I just don't feel like myself. I think I need to find my center again.
I would like to go to Gettysburg. I've lived in Maryland most of my life so I'm only one and half hours away. I don't understand why I just don't go.
