Memorize

... the words to a favorite song or quote. Come back to share what you chose and why. (And, if you can think of any image to illustrate memorizing, please pass along!)

Recall


... as much as you can from your first few years of school: kindergarten, first, and second grades. Jot down in a bullet list any memories or snippets of memories that come to mind, along with any feelings or expectations you had at the time.

The list may come in handy when you get brave enough to write your life history, or it will just induce a smile or two. If you have kids in any of those grades, they'd love to hear your stories. Come back and share your favorite memory!

P.S. I guess my verb last week was "Take ... a week off." : )

Laugh


... out loud. No stifling that giggle or guffaw in the movie theater or even church (well, you don't want to guffaw in church, but I'm sure a respectful chuckle is authorized).

Wave


... to a stranger. Maybe from your car to the person running or riding a bike on the side of the road. Or maybe a nod and smile to the stranger you pass on the sidewalk. You might leave them with a renewed confidence in the kindness of humankind, or just a nagging question, "Do I know that weirdo?"
