Summer Activity
As summer is just around the bend, I've started to think about what I might want to do in this new season. I've had seasonal bucket lists for the last couple years, but this time around, that's feeling a little too formal and rigid. In the name of resting more, I'm thinking more of brainstorming a list of things I could do, aiming to try them as time allows, not forcing myself to try to make time for all of them. I want to make sure I enjoy the best the season has to offer in good weather, more relaxed schedules, and plenty of good food!
- Read a good book outside in the sunshine. If you're looking for some good ideas, check out Modern Mrs. Darcy's 2016 Summer Reading Guide. She's so good at picking out books!
- Go for a walk without a specific destination in mind.
- Stare up at the clouds and find shapes in them.
- Try a new hobby.
- Find a new running route.
- Help someone garden, since I don't currently have one of my own.
- Wash my car by hand.
- Try a new farmer's market (and revisit some old ones).
- Have a picnic with friends.
- Go adventuring around the Twin Cities. For some good ideas, check out this list from thrillist.com or this one from About.com.
