Good Days

I have many goals in life. Some of those goals are long-term others are short-term. To keep track of these goals, I created a journal with a bucket list. Last year, a couple of my friends and I said we wanted to go stargazing….it never happened. But this year, I will make sure we have the time to do so. Most of my bucket list activities will be completed over the summer, hopefully. Others will be completed whenever.

I suggest making a list of things you want to complete throughout the year. Keep track of the dates and people you did it with. This will be a sure way to remember the positives of your year and the things you really enjoyed. 

Most people only document “down moments” in their journals. Let’s change that. Put all you happy thoughts there and reminisce on the good moments. Life if too short to only see the negative.

One day at a time, Friends.

  1. thank you for this reminder – so much. i think a lot of times i take for granted the good things in my life, but journaling helps so much when you document grateful moments as well. eventually you start seeking the good in your day to write about it later, and it’s really cool to look back on, especially for us at msa, where one day we’ll want to remember some of the greatest moments of our lives.

  2. That’s a lovely idea, Taylor. I’m definitely going to do that. I’ve always wanted to have a picnic under the stars with friends, and your post reignited that dream.
