I am inspired by the movie, “The Bucket List.” I decided it is much easier to make a list and check it off as I reach my goals. If you haven’t seen it, I totally recommend it! I am going to start and see how many things I can get done before I die. I am not planning on dying anytime soon but I thought this would keep me on track to achieve my goals. There are so many things I would like to do. I am starting by writing them all down. So here I go.. baby steps…
My Bucket list
- Graduate from college
- See my youngest son graduate from High School
- Have a photograph taken with My Entire Family (In Laws included) somewhere beautiful

The Bucket List also inspired me. I hope that you have the opportunity to do all those things and more.
Great List! Going to Italy is on my Bucket List too and I was able to cross it off in March. You'll love it there! Good luck with your adventures!
I love lists too!! I had one that i wrote at the beginning of the year - only to have a positive diagnosis of hiv a few months ago. Also within the last few weeks loosing my hubby to Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. My whole life as i knew it has changed. I am trying to make a new list to reflect how things have changed - but can't seem to find anything that i really want to do now. Your list made me smile and think maybe I too can. xxxx
