2024 Bucket List

After having a pretty unsuccessful attempt at my 2023 items, I decided to downsize my list for this year. I am confident this will allow me to complete all of what I set out to experience, especially since 2024 is already jam-packed full of plans and other goals I always work toward that I don’t put on the list. And while I only have 24 entries on my spreadsheet, many of them include an “at least” emphasis, or are multi-part, so it encourages me to do more if/when I can! I’m really looking forward to the fifth year of challenging myself to try new things, repeat things I’ve enjoyed in the past, spend quality time with family and friends, and make memories to last a lifetime. Be sure to scroll to the bottom for suggestions from me for your own list, even if you don’t care what I’m attempting this year! ^_^
