Once again, the summer season is upon us and, as usual, it promises to be a busy one. I've been thinking about some of the things that I'd like to do this summer. I know, in reality, I probably won't get to all of them, but having a list will certainly help me to focus on the season and remind me to enjoy it to the fullest!
"...ye see and know of your own selves that
summer is now nigh at hand"

I would love to do this, but we have so many projects/repairs and renovations, that I am hesitant to write one out. I know things so often change, and we end up doing some stuff a year later. I just may have to do this, with some goals and rewards to go with them. Thanks for the motivation.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't get to all of the things on my list, Kristina, but it does help to have something written out. It helps me to maintain my focus and points me in the right direction. Some of the stuff seems silly, I gues, and most of it is unimportant, but it still helps me to enjoy the season more fully...especially summer (because it's always been my least favorite). Anyway, I'd love to see your list if you end up making one. In a small way it can be fun and rewarding. Happy First Day of Summer 2024! I hope your summer ahead proves to be an exceptionally wonderful and productive one! Blessings, my friend, and thanks for stopping in!
