My Summer Bucket List

I love making lists, and for the last couple years I have been making a bucket list for each season. While my life list helps me to reach long term goals, I find that having ideas for each season enables me to live more in the moment.

GRATITUDE
I make a point every season to write down things I did or great things that happened to me throughout those months. This helps me to focus on all the happy memories I've received rather than what I didn't get to cross off my bucket list.

What is something you want to do this summer?
