Summer 2016 Bucket List

A 2016 Summer Bucket List
 
Happy summer, friends!  I have no vacations plans for the season (which means I sounded really lame when my dentist tried to make light conversation last week), but I do have small, personal plans.  Caleb and I have decided that we finally need to use that ice cream machine we got as a wedding gift almost three years ago.  I also think I should prioritize going swimming at least once, especially since last year I didn't swim at all!  Some of the more nerdy things on my list are tasks I'm knocking out on my 101 Challenge.  (I'm 76% finished!)  All of the list are things I really do hope to accomplish, though, and I'm looking forward to marking these things as complete!

I love making short spurt bucket lists.  Writing these things down is a way to keep myself accountable for completing them, and it's helpful to have the physical list in view around the house so I can be reminded of the importance I want to place on these things.  Also, I'm competitive by nature, and this is a fun way to watch myself check things off that I've wanted to do.  It may sound small, but it's a good rush for me, and it can help build momentum that I can use in other parts of my life, too.


Can you think of anything I should add to the list?  What plans do you have for the summer?  If you need some more inspiration, here's my list from 2 years ago.

  2. I love lists. I should make a summer bucket list...
    Also, Lang Leav has some very short lovely poetry, so you could pick one of those! Or if you want something long, my favorite poem is As I Walked Out One Evening by Auden. I want to memorize that one.

    1. I love lists, too! And thanks for the recommendation toward Lang Leav, I haven't heard of her before. Thank you for this and the introduction to Auden!
