Happy Tuesday and Happy January 2nd!

Many articles I’ve read lately explained how people’s New Year resolutions get abandoned by the middle of January. I don’t really make “resolutions”, but I do like a good list of things to do or experience. Yeah, yeah, I know the term bucket list refers to a list of things people want to do or accomplish before they “kick the bucket”…before they are “called home”…before they “enter into their eternal rest” but I simply have lots of different lists in my bucket because I LUV LISTS. :o)

I’ve posted about my Waterfall Bucket List and my National Parks Bucket List. I always have a reading challenge going on, but now I’m going to post about a few more bucket lists because if I announce to the blogosphere I’m going to do something, it’s like magic – those things always happen (eventually, haha!).

I want to make 50 NEW gourmet dinners or desserts. The trick will be deciding whether something is “gourmet” or not, ha! For instance, I’ve been intimidated by making French macarons, so that will be at the top of the list.

I’ve tried this one before, and I may fail {again} but this year I’m going to try a 365 Photo Project. Why? Because I always want to try to look for the beauty in life. Every.Single.Day. I also want to get better at using the different settings on my camera.

I want to cross off 100 rails-to-trails bike rides. This one might take a while, but it will be SO fun!

Lastly, I want to also cross off visits to 100 different botanical gardens or arboretums. Shall I try to count previously visited gardens, or start now? Hmmm…

I have other list ideas, but that’s all I’ll commit to (for now).

Now for my JusJoJan24 entry: The prompt is Gregorian. When I think of this word, I always think of 1752 which is the year Britain (and the British Colonies) adopted the Gregorian calendar. But, I learned something NEW today! Per Wikipedia, Saudi Arabia didn’t switch over until 2016! Wowza, who knew!?!

Have a great day! I hope you do or learn something NEW today!
