Day 100 of summer : Challenge complete

 I can’t believe I’ve reached the end of my 100 Days of Summer challenge. When I kicked it off back in May, I had no idea what was in store. It wasn’t about saying, “Wow, what a great life I have,” but more about giving myself a good kick up the backside, dragging myself out of the rut I was sinking into, and grabbing life by the short and curlies.

And grab it I did.

In just a few short months, I’ve donated blood, danced at biker weddings, cheered through musicals, laughed until I cried at plays, wined and dined in Trim, celebrated birthdays and weddings, and even managed a spot of spirituality at the Stations. I’ve sung, laughed, cried, and—yes—occasionally come home a little tipsy.

It’s been a whirlwind of music, family, friends, and fun… one of the best summers of my life, all without ever leaving the country. That’s the beauty of being a retired teacher: no more peak-season price hikes.

So here I am: challenge complete, comfort zone thoroughly demolished.

Now the only question is… what next? How about something original, like 100 Days of Autumn?
