I’ve written many bucket/general aspiration/goal lists on this blog over the years. [Running bucket list, Spring 2025, Fall 2024, Summer 2024, 2023 Aspirations, 2022 Aspirations – to name a few!] I absolutely love writing them and reflecting on what is exciting or inspiring to me… even if I rarely end up actually marking things off the list!
I find that making a bucket list encourages me to think creatively about how I want to use my time in that season of my life. The great part about documenting them here is that I can see how my interests or ambitions have changed over time. Even when I look at my Summer 2024 Bucket List, I am struck by how some of the items just don’t speak to me this time around.
I mentioned this in my last post, but this summer feels different to me than last year and I’m not entirely sure why. I generally feel a little more tired, but that may very well be because I’m just not adjusted to this heat yet! It really does take it out of you. Anyway, in the spirit of getting fully into the summer season, I am back with another bucket list!
I hope you are feeling adventurous and inspired this summer! Stay hydrated to keep the energy going all summer long.
- Dinner picnic at the pool
- Run at a new-to-me park
- Bike commute to work!
- Go trail running pre-work day
- Attend a summer concert
- Go SUPing at least three times
- River snorkeling – this is the year, people!
- Volunteer for Abigail Spanberger’s campaign
- Go camping
- More water activities! Tubing, swimming holes, etc.
- Make lavender lemonade
- Summer produce all season long
- Explore Shenandoah’s South District
- Volunteer at the local food bank
I’m sure this will change throughout the summer, but I am excited about it! What’s on your list??
Love,
JN
