Well, here we sit: on the cusp of our new life chapter. It’s not exactly midnight on New Year’s Eve, but that’s reserved for Jason’s birthday anyway. So, why not make a list to be completed by July 15th, 2023?
Directions: Imagine you’re watching the clock strike midnight
this New Year’s Evenext year. What are 50 memories you want to have from the past year? The memories on the list fall into 3 realms:
- Likely: these are the most easily achieved, as they’re feasible and almost expected.
- Possible: these are the ones that could happen, and with a bit of effort, they will.
- Potential: these are unlikely, but wow, wouldn’t it be amazing if they were true?
Some will be small. Some will be big. Just brainstorm and have fun making a list! Don’t think about all the logistics that would go into accomplishing the memories. Just make a list of all the memories you’d like to have in 12 months.
