2022 Fall Bucket List

THE LONG AWAITED
FALL BUCKET LIST 2022

 Happy Fall Dear Reader! 

  Fall is slowly making its entrance. It's been nice to turn off the air conditioner! We've had a few chilly nights. A few of the maples are showing their first blush of red at the tops. Gold is tinging some of the oaks.

  If you've been around for a bit, you know that I've had surgery every fall for the last five years! That is not on my bucket list this fall! Praise God! Cancer is finally behind me, and I just have yearly check-ups and one long-term pill to help prevent a recurrence. I'm so glad!

 I've actually already done a few of these things. I still added them to the list, because y'all might want to do some of them. I'll put items I've completed in italics. Then I'll come back and update regularly so that you can see my progress. 

 I have found that since I began making these bucket lists, I am more intentional about enjoying each season. It's too easy to get stuck in a rut.

 I'd love to hear what is on your bucket list for fall. Please share a list or a link to your list in the comments below. Is there anything I've forgotten that you consider a must do? Let's talk and be friends.
