Good Day Tushkateers!!!\u00a0 It is officially summer.\u00a0 Not so much because the summer solstice has come and gone; not so much because Memorial Day and July 4 have come and gone, but because this morning I woke up and declared it to be SUMMER and in so doing decided to pretend that I am in NYC (I am; that part of this is true) but only for the summer!\u00a0 Dig it!\u00a0 I’m on a sort of vacation.\u00a0 (In my mind’s eye, at any rate!)<\/p>\n

Most of us take where we live and what it has to offer for granted. We figure, since we live here, we’ll do ‘that’ later, and do what we ‘have to’ do first!\u00a0 So … for this summer, I pledge not to take for granted where I live and what it has to offer.<\/p>\n

I am dedicated to arranging my day in a way that supports ‘vacation mode,’ and enables me to do more!\u00a0 Enjoy more!! (I’ll have a second helping of ‘enjoy,’ please.)<\/p>\n

This stems from yesterday’s fun day.\u00a0 We (Peter and I) walked to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the McQueen exhibit (2 miles in each direction, according to Google Maps).\u00a0 We left the house in the morning (before it got too hot or humid), saw the exhibit, had a bite to eat (just one bite :), and were home before 1 p.m.\u00a0\u00a0 Imagine that.\u00a0 Culture, 4 miles of walking and a meal before 1 p.m. leaving plenty of time for nighttime fun and fireworks!<\/p>\n

I invite you to make this the Summer of Appreciating Where You Live<\/a> and what it has to offer by simply making enjoyment a priority.\u00a0 We have more daylight; we have better energy (don’t we???) – so let’s get with it!!!<\/p>\n

Join with us Tushkateers on Facebook!\u00a0 A Kick in the Tush<\/a>!!!<\/p>\n

Please let me know what you like best about where you live, and how you are going to take full advantage of it this summer!!!\u00a0 You can post photos, videos, whatever you like!!!\u00a0 Fun, yes?!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing,<\/p>\n
