Summer is nearly here, and as usual, I have created a bucket list of things I want to do during the season.
Summer is my favorite season, as it is warm, and I am more willing to spend time outside. I feel like I am more productive during the warmer months, because I am not cold, and I can focus more on what I am doing.
The one thing I am unable to do this summer, that I am sad about not getting to do, is volunteering at a Joni and Friends retreat. Which I'm not too happy about, as retreat is one of the few things that brings me so much peace and joy every year. I am hopeful that I will be able to go next year.
In no particular order, here is my summer bucket list:
- Go swimming
- Get bedroom cleaned up
- Redecorate my bedroom
- Make lemonade
- Ride my bike
- Go for walks
- Make a t-shirt quilt
- Learn to play 1 song on the violin every 1-2 weeks
