"Every year on April 23rd, National Take a Chance Day encourages us to break out of our comfort zone. Most of us have unaccomplished goals or dreams. What if this was the day to take the chance to make them happen? Even if it is just the first step toward that goal, it will be one step closer than before. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowline, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain Uncertain where to start? Polish up that resume’, sign up for a foreign language class, or buy a pair of hiking shoes. Those are the first steps to taking chances on new jobs, traveling to a foreign country, or hiking that trail. Ready for a bigger chance? Buy that plane ticket or finally, take your business plan to the bank. It’s time to broaden those horizons."
My notes: Don't let anything or anybody stand in your way. Be realistic but also remember life is too short to not LIVE!

ZandraJoi, Everybody has their own 'comfort zone' and it's called that for a reason...:-) However, it IS good for you to step out of it every once in awhile. And, I agree...life IS too short...so, LIVE it!

"On April 23rd, National Picnic Day encourages everyone to pack up their lunch and take it outdoors. Picnics are a terrific way to enjoy a meal outdoors in the company of friends and family. There are a variety of ways to take part in a picnic. This meal hearkens back to mid-18th-century al fresco French dining when all you needed was a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, some cheese, and fruit and you could have a party under the sky."
My notes: Who loves a picnic? We've had one outdoors before on our picnic table when I was younger.

"Each year on April 23rd, National Lost Dog Awareness Day increases awareness concerning missing dogs and celebrates reunions. Through networks of shelters, veterinaries, social media, and other media sources, many lost canines and families reunite. The day is an opportunity to learn more about prevention and networking. There are also steps to take to prevent your family pet from going missing. Some of these preventative steps also help return Fido to you if he does go missing."
My notes: The best thing is to train your dog correctly so they won't want to run off.

A lost dog can be very traumatic for its owner. Especially if they were taken, and not lost.

"April 23rd recognizes the food holiday National Cherry Cheesecake Day. Cookbooks and bakers offer a large variety of recipes for cherry cheesecake. Some cherry cheesecake recipes call for the cherries to be mixed into the batter and others place the cherries on top. This smooth dessert hits the spot when the end of the meal rolls around. While most cakes have a crumb, cheesecake’s texture is nothing like cake. Indeed, its creamy, thick pudding-like character comes from the soft cheese used as the main ingredient. Depending on the recipe, either cream cheese or cottage cheese is used. When the cheese is mixed with sugar, eggs, and other ingredients, the batter is added to a crust." My notes: Do you like cheesecake? What about cherry? I have never been fond of cheesecake. When I ate sweets, it was chocolate based
