The suggestions are varied each depicting on a colorfully illustrated card and include activities from the simple like flying a kite or spending the day in bed to the more extravagent like going skydiving of getting front row seats to something you love.
The cards are dedicated to Lynn Gordon's sister Dale who lives her life to the fullest and with contagious vitality. Lynn encourages us to view the memories of childhood with a renewed interest. Visiting the circus as a grown-up will help you appreciate elements you were not aware of as a child.
I had to giggle at the "Make a Wish" one, because as a child I was forever asking my mom for pennies to toss in fountains. I always believed my wishes really would come true. Later in life you realize you don't always get what you want, but you always get what you need.
Some of the cards in this pack include: Speaking in Public (not something I enjoy), Asking a Stranger Out (can't, already married), Radical hair Make-Over (maybe), Writing the Great American Novel (working on that one), Milk a Cow (done that), Stay up All Night (Read a long book and that is very possible ;>) and Swim in the Ocean (Um, Sharks! Maybe not!).
But then they have some really enjoyable ideas like: Sleeping out Under the Stars, Writing a Children's Book, Taking a Spontaneous Trip (my husband laughed at the thought of me not packing for days), Leaving a really Big Tip for a waitress (make her day), Get a Massage (you need it), Send a Love letter (leave the card about the house for your husband to see...hint!) and Volunteer for a Good Cause.
Geared for Girlfriends, bright and colorful. You could also send single cards in letters to friends who you think might need to get out and do something fun. You can also start to make up your own list of fun things to do, like "Take a Picture with a Tiger." I checked that one off my list a few weeks ago. Well, it was just a tiger cub, but still.
Thanx to my Cousin Julia for giving this cute set of cards to me. It is perfect for tossing in a gift bag, just as she did.
