I mentioned before that I LOVE Fall and everything that comes along with it. Cooler temperatures, cute boots, scarves, hot drinks, changing colors, falling leaves, and harvest. I also vowed to myself to start living my life more fully and to experience every season as they come and go, so this fall I will do just that.
1. Go to a farmer's market, explore and find homegrown or handmade goodies.
2. Can and preserve food from the garden my boyfriend and I planted this spring/summer. Think homemade salsa, fresh jam and pickled beans.
3. Go for at least 2-3 walks outside per week to enjoy the cooler temperatures and fall colors.
4. Try a new activity or attend a new event. Living in Winnipeg, there is constantly something going on so I will just need to keep my eyes peeled until I find something :)
5. Try new fall recipes/drinks, to get more in the fall spirit. ex. apple cider, pumpkin loaf/muffins, coffee drinks in my new espresso maker!
6. Move my body more. I keep saying "I will do it tomorrow" or "It's okay to be lazy today" but in reality... I must seize the opportunity today and make time for my health.
7. Start thinking of Christmas gifts for my friends and family that I can make myself.
I think this is a reasonable list and by putting it on my blog, I hope it will make me more accountable. As I grow older, I find myself thinking more often about how quickly life is passing by and some days I find it hard to recall certain memories. I guess this means that I am surviving and not really living. Now is the time cherish my life and make time to create and remember those valuable memories!
Beautiful! Does that ever sound awesome. We get in such a habit of thinking "I don't have time for that...", when we really do. It's certainly a problem I have. So, yes. All this stuff sounds like a perfect way to enjoy life, rather than just "survive".
