Bucket List: Part 3

I promised my list of things I'd REALLY like to do. So, here it is in no particular order:

• Disney World--this has always been a dream of mine
• Lots of family adventures
• Spend more time doing what I enjoy than doing what I don't
• Have a job that doesn't feel like a job
• Surround myself with people that make me smile and feel needed and loved
• Go on a cruise
• Go to Las Vegas and Hawaii and Alaska and lots of national parks...okay, you get the idea--travel to some cool places some with my kids, some with friends and some just with Robby

What's on your list?

BTW--I don't think any list like this is ever complete or set in stone. It is static--always changing. What was a priority one day may not be the next...

Bucket List: Part 2

So yesterday I decided you could have two categories of Bucket Lists. One would be things you'd love to do/try but realistically probably never will. Why would you want to make a list like this? Well, one can dream, I guess.

Things on this list might include:

• Travel to the moon
• Visit every continent
• Jump out of an airplane
• Win the lottery (of course if this happens, all of the above might be attainable)
• Win a Nobel Prize
• End world hunger

See where I'm going with this? Me neither.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it is okay to have big dreams and goals. But what may be more important than creating some check list of things to do before we die is to just live. Live in a way that fulfills you and makes the need for the list nonexistent.

Still to come: my list of things I'd REALLY like to do someday.

A Bucket List??

On the way home from taking Sadie to school today I was debating a blog post. Should it be "the evils of the time change" or what? Then the morning show we were listening to on the radio had a call-in question. "What is the one thing you'd like to do before you die?" That got me thinking.

Do I have a bucket list? Do I need a bucket list? Aren't we taught to live life every day and be content with what we have? Should you make a list so you have direction in your life? What if you make a list and it is full of things that never get accomplished?

So, what do you think? Should we all make a bucket list? If so, should we specify how many things on it? Can you narrow life down to a top ten or top five list?

What's on your bucket list?
