I am compiling a list of things that I want to do in May ... but never have time to do. Here are my first 11 things. It is not one for everyday --- it's just stuff I think about, but never do! I'll share more later as I think of more things I want to do in May.
#1 Dance to at least one song every day! Today, I will start with this song --- Celebration! Take 2 1/2 minutes to play the song and get up and dance if it moves you to do so!
I will spend 2 minutes each day searching for a song. Then I'll dance to the song... If I think I don't have time, I'll make my bed, load the dishwasher, and fold towels and put them away while I dance!
#2 Quilt and thread paint my Tip Top Through the Tulips Quilt - Tonya's Quilt Along from last May.
#3 Sew something simple -- like pillowcases. I have some fabric I have set aside for them for about three years. I am finally going to take time to make them.
#4 Practice quilting some new quilting designs on plain white fabric with blue thread.
#5 Sip my coffee slowly and just breathe.... I may have to do this every morning, after I dance!
#6 Polish my toe nails. I need to remove the red polish and change it to blue!
#7 Buy Chocolate Milk - my husband will love this one!

#8 Add fruit to my water and drink more water. This is a really good thing to do.
#9 Get an old recipe from my Mom and make it. Maybe her Cherry Coke Jello. She tops it with cool whip. I will take photos when I make it. My husband will love this too... mostly, because I am going to take time to cook a little!
#10 Make a few more fabric greeting cards.
#11 Call an old friend. Maybe even two old friends. I think about this often, but never do it! Yes --- it's an old rotary dial phone!
