Did summer fly by and take your summer bucket list with it? Yes? Mine, too! The days were so busy that I never really got around to many of the things on my list. So forget about tackling everything. But, fear not; there is no need to toss out that list. Below are seven reasons I choose to re-up my summer bucket list and why you should, too.
One of the most fun things I did this summer was item number seven: wear a fake mustache for 24 hours. That day was a great adventure. It created one of the best birthday memories for my daughter, ever. It also allowed me the chance to be silly non-stop for an entire 24 hour period with my loved ones. Perhaps there are items on your summer bucket list that are just plain worthy of a repeat because it gives you a chance to relive wonderful memories connected with them.
I like to watch tennis and volleyball. These games are bound to certain times of year and certain time frames. This summer I decided I was going to learn the rules first hand and play some sand volleyball. Learning to play a sport properly, or any other skill come to that, takes time and should not be bound to time and space limitations. So why not take that crash course lesson on the "rules of the game" and extend into the rest of the year for as long as it takes to get the job done right!
Have you ever tried to cook anything from a French cookbook? And failed? Yes, maybe? Well the two recipes on my summer bucket list just did not pan out as well as I hoped. That is why we have do-overs! If an item on your summer bucket list just didn’t work out to your expectations the first time then try again. You just may end up with better results.
Did I mention that my summer bucket list was 50 items deep? Yeah, it is pretty ambitious for even me, an Aries. Aside from the sheer number of things on my list the variety of those items was nearly impossible to get through before summer ends. After prioritizing a little, I still managed to leave out quite a bit. This fall as I re-up my summer bucket list it might be a good idea to consolidate the list. A little.
Although time flew by and summer is nearly over, that doesn’t mean that the summer bucket list has to end. Take another look at that bucket list if you have one. I’m sure you will find a number of items to re-up for the fall. Do you have a summer bucket list? What items did you list? Please, share!
