It’s not too late to create your summer bucket list. Fill it
up with anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to do, whether it’s big,
small or random. Then see what’s practical to make happen before school starts
in late August.
First on my summer bucket list is hosting a picnic for my
grandchildren at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose. Second is to visit Dallas’
own George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum for my first time. Lastly, I
hope to attend a Texas Rangers game.
If you don’t live your days by personal goals and plans,
chances are you spend most of your time caught up in a flurry of day-to-day
activities. Having a bucket list keeps what’s most important to you top of mind.
Research shows that when you take
time to write your goals down, you are more likely to accomplish them.
There’s no rule that your bucket list has to include
big-ticket, extravagant goals.
Your goals can be as simple and important as spending more time together
as a family. That can be accomplished by reading together or planning a cookout
at a local park. Maybe you want to learn more about a topic of interest, so try
visiting the library or a local museum.
There are lots of inexpensive ways to spend your summer that will result
in cherished memories.
