On my mind lately...What drives our need to be needed? (Love! of course. The answer is everywhere.)
(Remedy:) A walk along soft sand, under blue sky, then randomly jete. (Care not if there is an audience.)
Hammocks swaying, with a cool lemonade and a book. Stop to remember someone you loved...and then again for another...and then again for yet another.
Nap. Wish upon a star or just the afternoon breeze.
Spin a globe blindfolded and when it stops have a look to see what country you are going to add to your bucket list. Go to the library and take out the travel guide for that destination.
Sweep your insecurities under the rug for yet another day. (By simply pretending to have none, you make it so. It's really easy.)
Play the lottery. Hey, someone has to win. (You?)
Be a kinder, gentler version of you today. Be an even kinder and an even gentler you, tomorrow. Repeat the pattern.
(Refuel:) Call a friend. Laugh. Plan. Have lunch. Have confidence in your abilities. Inspire someone. (BE the light.)
Happiest of weekends to you all xo
so beautiful, the vision of a random grande jete and that gorgeous photo ... have a beautiful weekend love, xo

I love all of your suggestions. I feel like spending an afternoon at Books 'n Books sipping mango lemonade and viewing books on Positano, Italy.
Have a weekend like no other. Enjoy it, mi'ja! :)

They sound like wonderful past times. Myself, I get a lot out of making tea for a tea party while I study! Having tea with someone who is a friend is just icing on the tea party!

You have my correct blog info in your blog roll, Gill. Though, YPR is now RIP. :)
Lovely words of wisdom in this post. We absolutely must BE the light. Illuminate. ...Shine.

Thankful the audience is optional...as I would rather randomly jete in private.
Sending most sincere love to you all.

I think I'll pick four from your list and do them today and tomorrow. That should make for a lovely time.
