Hello Friends,
As I have mentioned before, I am not a summer girl, and although I would love to dive into fall now that it’s August, I am trying to make the most of the last bits of summer before it is gone. (If you want to read more about how I am working on being happy in the moment I am in, you can read my post on this topic here.) So I thought I would share my list of last-minute summer things to soak up in case you are looking to do the same.
- Dip my feet in a body of water. I have not swam once this summer. Which is so sad to me because I love swimming so obviously that had to be added to my list. I mean, it isn’t summer until you have swam right!?!
- Watch a sunrise and sunset in a new spot. I have enjoyed plenty of pretty skies this summer. However, I want to find a new spot to do so before summer says goodbye.
- Bake with seasonal August fruits (peaches, plums, blackberries, raspberries, etc.) These aren’t fruits I have ever baked with, so I am excited to experiment with them while they are in season.
- Try something new from my local farmers’ market. I go to the market a couple of times a month, but there are still so many vendors I have not tried. So, no better time than the present, right?
- Sit outside and reflect on summer so far. Gotta soak in the sun while it’s here, so might as well take my journal outside!
- Summer send-off picnic. I saw this on TikTok the other day and thought it was such a cute idea. I may just make it a new tradition!
- Outdoor movie night. I have a projector and have been wanting to do one of these, so I am hoping putting it on this list will hold me accountable.
- Play a summer sport. If anyone is looking for a tennis partner…hit me up!
This may have veered into a list of things I have not completed off my summer bucket list with little end-of-summer twists. But, hey, anything goes right! Let me know your end-of-summer must-dos in the comments below, or join the conversation on social media!
Until next week, my friends!
P.S. I’m proud of you 😉
