When the Bucket List Needs a Makeover....

Life happens. Things Change. Curve balls come. When I was younger in the earlier part of marriage and motherhood, I would get quite upset when change happened. I am kind of a stickler for routines and flows. I know. LOL!  I have learned a lot with age! 😆😆

Something happens as you get older and you realize life is a lot more joyful if you just grab your seat and go with it. It may get bumpy, wild, hard, fun, crazy, wonderful and tearful all in one go. One thing for sure is that things CHANGE. 

I had my made my beautiful, curated Spring Bucket List and shared it with you all when spring kicked off. Well, some things changed for me physically and besides letting this rain on my Spring Bucket List Parade I have decided it just simply needs a makeover. 

I think sometimes we have a hard time saying, "that isn't going to work" and start over. Sometimes it just has to be done. It usually works out for the better most of the time. 

I know that most people (including all my family and most friends) think Memorial Day is the kick off to Summer starting, but I am one of those purist 😅 that really clings from ONE SEASON TO THE NEXT and because I go by dates not holidays or weather I still have plenty of time to get some things on my Bucket List done before Summer hits and before my surgery!

I have until June 21st 3:24 a.m. (central time in USA) 😆 My surgery is June 22nd. SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!! 😞


Here is my previous bucket list....


As you can tell I have done TWO! LOL! Well, life happened right after I made this list. Some of it seems pretty simple but with my current situation physically most is a no go, or it needs to be made with some accommodations. 


Here is my more simplistic and modified NEW ONE filled with things I feel I could pull off and if not.... OH well! It will be alright! Life will continue and I will be just fine. 😆



A lot of these may seem super simplistic compared to my other one but it is what I feel I can do and it brings me a little joy thinking of some of the ways I can make all these things happen. I can combine a few of these things so that will be neat and fun!!! Like I can drive to a new to me state park and have a picnic. Boom. :)

Have you done things on your spring bucket list? Are you planning for summer already? Do you even do bucket lists? Not everyone does and some may think it is silly, but I do like having a plan to really do some fun simple things here and there. It makes life more shall I say JOYFUL!

Until Next Time,
