Earlier this year, I did a post entitled “20 Summer Goals” where I listed, you guessed it, 20 goals that I wanted to complete over the summer. I didn’t make it through all the goals, but I made it through some of them, and I honestly had a really good time doing it. Making that list gave me something to look forward to over the summer that helped me look past the burning heat and the long days. After the summer, I wasn’t planning to make any more goals for myself or anything like that, but this morning I felt really inspired to do it. I think it may just become a habit for me, to give myself inspiration to get out and do things throughout each part of the year rather than getting stuck in a rut and letting the year pass me by without taking advantage of all of it. All of the photos throughout this post were taken in or around Grand Marais, Minnesota. Grand Marais is my favorite place to be in the Autumn. Just looking at these pictures brings back so many wonderful memories that I’ve made there over the years, and it felt quite fitting to put a few of them in this post filled with inspiration for myself.
1. Go to a pumpkin patch.
2. Go apple picking.
3. Bake something new.
4. Carve pumpkins.
5. Go on a walk/hike in 3 new places.
6. Watch 5 scary movies.
7. Read 6 new books, in at least 3 different genres.
8. Go on an adventure.
9. Work on more photography.
10. Write at least 1 blog post each week, if not more.
11. Put myself out there more, let more people in.
12. Explore the city, and document it.
As you can see, some of these goals are ones that I can (and hopefully will!) blog, and others aren’t, but the ones that are blogable, are the ones I’m most excited about. Some of these goals are the most standard of things. Things that people say they want to do every time Fall rolls around. Cliches. But that fact aside, they are all things that I haven’t done since I was a little kid, and I really want to try and do them again. I want to make memories, because when it comes down to it, memories are all that matter. And if there ever comes a time when I can’t remember these things anymore, I like to think I’ll be able to come back to this blog, and relive these moments.
So here is me, wishing myself good luck in completing each one of these goals. I hope you will enjoy sharing these moments with me, and if you yourself decide to create your own goals this Fall, please let me know or tag me in them so I can follow along with you! I hope it can give you inspiration and help you create memories of your own.
I hope you’re doing well, where ever you are in the world, and I wish you all the best.

Just out of curiosity, where were the photos taken? Several of them look like either the Long Island Sound or coastal Quebec.

They were all taken in Minnesota near Grand Marais. Along the North Shore of Lake Superior. Very near Ontario.
It is one of my favorite places to be. 🙂

I agree completely about making memories, and the joy of having a blog to look back to when you can’t quite remember everything (I’m only in my mid-twenties but sometimes it’s hard to remember what I did just a couple of years ago!) Your post is really inspirational and makes you want to get out there in the world and really live. Bravo!
