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. 😆

I think that's a good redo of your bucket list. Glad you have a surgery date, but I wish you didn't have to wait so long.
I go by the calendar too! I have several more weeks to finish up my spring bucket list.. though I am thinking of things I might want to add to my summer bucket list. I'm doing really well with my spring list. I have one item I'll cross off tomorrow and another should be crossed off on Sunday (seeing Lion King with Alec and going to Maine with my husband). Then I'm really not sure what is left to cross off.
I love your revised spring bucket list! All of the things made me smile and I hope you have fun ticking everything off the list.
You are an amazing Lady taking it all in stride and with grace. Love that you still see the gratitude in it all and just decided to pivot to a new plan. Still so much fun and beauty to enjoy. :) Wishing you blessings on marking off the rest of your Spring plans dear Friend. xoxo💗
I think that it is a great idea to change your bucket list as you need too.
I love your new bucket list. It is even something I might be able to do! LOL. We already had a picnic...our church Memorial Day Picnic. But hubby and I may take a sandwich to a park and eat it someday...hopefully before it gets too hot and buggy. I am doing more reading lately in the evenings. I really don't make a bucket list...I just have to go with the flow and see how things work out. I am praying for you that you will enjoy these days prior to your surgery, and then that the surgery will be totally successful and that you will be able to recuperate comfortably and maybe even continue to do some of the bucket list things if you didn't get them done before. reading and puzzles will be something you can do. Just relax and let God do the planning...His plans are the best.
Lots of good things to do on your bucket list.
I also go by the calendar for the seasons. They come around so fast I like to hold on to the previous season as long as I can.
I don't really have bucket list.
I love a good makeover, Chrissy and this seems like the perfect time for one...and your new list still looks like fun. ❤️
Good for you - being flexible and willing to redo your list. Like you, back in the day...having a crimp in my well-laid plans could put me in a tailspin (one of the reasons I stopped meal planning - if meatloaf was on the menu for Monday and no one wanted meatloat...if was not pretty!! ugh)! I am trying to be more flexible but it is taking a lot of trying!!
Chrissy, I am sorry that you are going to need surgery, but it does sound as though when you did the "redo" of your Spring Bucket List you had recovery in mind and that is just SO wise! I will be praying for you, my sweet friend. xx
I've been away from blogs for a bit but looking forward to catching up with yours soon. I hope you're feeling well. Thinking of you, Tara
i think i have dedicated my life to making bucket lists for all seasons. i also have my bucket list calendar also, i'm sure you have seen it. we have been on 2 picnics this spring, both were wonderful!! i have already checked off several ideas and it has been fun. i enjoyed reading your list! have a great weekend!!
I go by the calendar too, not the holidays. Too many people rush the seasons...especially fall. Oh, it drives me crazy when people start looking for fall in August. I don't do bucket lists/goals, but it's great you could just go with the flow and readjust your list.
I do hope you find a waterfall to view and enjoy. The water is relaxing and calm, and the views are beautiful. I have one close by that I go to in every season. You have already completed some of these things on your bucket list. Picnics are always delightful - I hope you do that one. ; )
I knowwww me too. The waiting is making me more nervous.
Look at you!! You go!!! I love making a list to kind of give inspiration!
Thank you friend!! Hugs!
Hello Carrie. I am trying. I have also shed a lot of tears and have had a lot of anxiety.... but I am trying!!!
Thanks, Carol! :) I appreciate your visit!
His plan really is the best! Love ya
I agree! I like to embrace the true full season!
Thank you!
Oh, it is a constant effort to be more flexible. I will say being in ministry has taught me I didn't have a choice.. LOL
Thank you so much!!!! I appreciate you and your comments!
Glad you are back!
I always love seeing your bucket lists!!!
Amy,
Exactly! Everyone is always rushing things as it is. I am savoring what I can. Life goes to fast already!
Oh, I love waterfalls! They are so refreshing and relaxing.
