Becoming the best version of yourself

Where Have I Been??

on June 10, 2025

Do you have a bucket list??

I’m now working on my second one. The one I made in college, when I look back on it, was perfect for that age and that time in my life. There were five things on the list. A couple of them I accomplished fairly quickly. One of them, to have been in all 50 states, took me until 2018 – when I finally made it to Wisconsin!! I had a map of the US on my wall in the study, and one day I really looked at it and realized that there was only one state not colored in!! What was I waiting on??

I went to my favorite travel related internet site “Trip Advisor” and set out to plan a trip to Wisconsin. I felt really great when I could finally color in that map with the 50th and final state DONE!! I’m a visual learner, I have to see it to learn it – and that goal on a map spurred me on.

Then I figured I needed a more “adult” bucket list, and set out to create another one. The photo here was taken a week ago as I accomplished another goal – seeing the Grand Canyon. I took a 9 day road trip with a dear friend of 40 years, and we saw the “Mighty 5” National Parks in Utah, 3 state parks and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We hit 4 different states (maybe she should start a map?) and hiked and walked and took a ton of photos.

A sense of accomplishment- we all need one/them. Have you ever written down your goals? Do you have a bucket list? 2025 may be halfway gone, but it’s never too late to feel accomplishment.

Wishing everyone a “Grand Canyon” moment!
