The meme above has inspired me to think about what I would write on a bucket list. I suspect it may take time to flesh one out.
Here is what I would put on it today:
- Travel within the United States to visit friends and family without a tight timeline. I want to meander!
o See New York City.
o Visit Maine.
o Take Joe to see Laurel Mountain area of Pennsylvania.
o Visit National Parks
o Sit on Elizabeth’s patio in the morning (Gilbert, AZ) and listen to the quiet.
o Spend time with amazing friends like Anne, Marjorie, Linda, and others who can be available to us.
o Spend time with my nieces and nephews while I can still travel to them.
- Alaskan Cruise
- Meet Heather Cox Richardson.
- Visit Italy
What would have been on an old bucket list (These are situations that were important to me and I can mark off as accomplished:
· Go to college.
· Have a fulfilling career.
· Have children.
· Become a grandparent.
· Live in another country (Egypt).
· Retire
· Stay in a 5 Star Resort (Egypt for a week on the Red Sea).
· Take a hot air balloon ride.
· Soaring (Sailplanes)
· Spend time with friends.
There is something to be said for Bucket lists. The completed list becomes a gratitude list for all that I have been fortunate to do. The To-Do list is a reminder of good things to come.
Do you have a bucket list? Do you share it with others?
Next time we chat, I want to hear about the hot air balloon ride! I didn’t know you had that experience.
