Any way, fragments of this along with the last few weeks have had me re-evaluating the concept of a bucket list. I have always had ambitions, a wish list of things I wanted to do....at some point. The concept of a bucket list, however, always seemed a bit morbid to me. But as I eluded to in my last post I have been converted to the advantages of bucket list.
So last week I began by choosing the perfect notebook from my considerable stash (come on admit it we all have a stack of notebooks waiting for that perfect project....don't we?) And I started to note down the memories I want to make; mostly with my girls, some are just for me and others to make with other half or friends. I have to admit the list has started to get a little long, already!
So far I have 20 items on the list, ranging from 'visit a pick your own fruit farm with the girls' to 'attend a masquerade ball' via 'keep a daily journal'. I have been adding items almost daily and have even managed to tick a few off. So in one of my brain waves I have decided to add another page to my blog to keep a track of how my bucket list is shaping up. Click here to see what is on there, you can even help me fulfil one or two if you like, I have a feeling I am going to be a very busy bunny, I may need the help!!
Don't run out of time, make every second count! A philosophy to live life by. Have you ticked anything off your list lately?
Love this post & philosophy! My bucket list has been shrinking lately, so it's time to add a few new things. *scribbling "bull-riding"*
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, bull-riding.......new addition to my list?????
DeleteEverything on my bucket list requires either a lot of money or a lot of luck. I've been told that I should start aiming for more obtainable things. But I believe "Always aim for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars." So... walking the red carpet at the Oscars remains on my bucket list. *grin*
ReplyDeleteWhy aim for the obtainable?? You don't need to 'aim for the obtainable ;-) keep shooting for the stars!
DeleteI have a heard of bucket lists but never really thought about them before reading your post. It is so true what you say about making the most of every moment, as we never know what life will throw at us. There are a few things on your list I would like to do as well, write a novel, and visit Italy. I've always wanted to go to one of the big America comic conventions in the States, that would be awesome. Hope you had a nice Bank Holiday Weekend, take care, and hope all goes well :O)
ReplyDeleteI have had a fab Bank Holiday...hope your's has been great too.
DeleteI always though bucket lists were for those on death's door, now I figure I'll get a head start! Maybe I see you in Italy or the US ;-)
