Bucket List


If you don't know what one is: a Bucket List is a record of all the things you want to do in life while your alive. Many people have one, but whether they seriously follow it is another matter.

My sister has been going on about her own and asking when I going to make mine so we can be in pursuit together. So yesterday during our holiday long weekend walk, I started to compile a list of what I would love to experience and accomplish within my lifetime. Apparently the magic number is 101 items but I'll share what I have.

Think about what you've always wanted to do. Is there anything stopping you from realizing your dreams? Writing a list helps put things in perspective and will probably resurface a lot of past curiosities and passions. Be as specific, grand, or simple as your instincts tell you. It's important to note which items carry the biggest weights, those are the ones that you want to highlight as priorities. And you don't have to pick one, the beauty in life is that it's as limiting as you make it.
