This is not my idea. I got it from my daughter who is the most entertaining person in our family. She’s an adult—thirty-three-years-old—who loves to have fun. What she did is to make a list of things she wanted to do during Fall to make her life more enjoyable. She downloaded a free template from Canva and made one column for the activity and another for checking it off when she completed it.
What did she include in the columns? Well, for one, nothing cost a lot of money. One thing she wrote was to buy paper Halloween cups to enjoy when she had coffee. She has a dog, so she walks a lot, and a holiday coffee cup would be a super conversation starter for all the other dog walkers in her neighborhood.
Here are some things I would write:
- To make lamb stew
- To read On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
- To watch a movie in a movie theater
- To take flowers to a friend that needs cheering up
- To go to a craft fair with a friend
- To take a hike to a natural labyrinth near my house
- To visit my local library
- To wander around in a large nursery
- To prune my roses
- To send my daughter a card for no reason except to say “I love you.”
