I have a friend who has a bucket list. I thought she was a bit too young, but then as I saw her cross items off of her bucket list and continually add more, I was inspired!
At first I had no idea what I would put on my bucket list. I wondered if I just didn't have things I wanted to do before I died. But I do, I just hadn't thought about it.
First I was thinking of things like "ride in a hot air balloon" or "travel to Rome." But the more I thought about it the more I don't care if I do those things. These are things for other people, but my list will be mine. And because they're my items, I'm sure many of them won't be understood by those who aren't me. All that matters is that I have my list, and that it's a work in progress.
(These are in no particular order. Just whatever happens to come to me as I make this list.)
1. Run the Air Force Half Marathon (goal, 2013)
2. Run the Air Force Marathon (goal, 2014)
3. Run the Flying Pig Half (I want the medal with the pig butt on it)
4. Run the Indy 500 Half (I want to run on the race track!)
5. Run the Disney Princess Half Marathon. With a tutu and tiara.
6. Take my mom to Honduras.
7. Attend a wedding in Honduras.
8. Be fluent in Spanish.
9. Have a child to tell me their life is better because I was there.
10. Travel to all 50 states.
11. Become a member of Mensa.
12. Visit Scotland (and then reread the Outlander series).
13. Meet Michael W. Smith (and be able to talk).
14. Sing harmony with Michael W. Smith (yeah I know it's a long shot).
This is it for now. There's about 20 other items going through my head but I need to think about them further and really make sure they need to be added to the list. Because once they're on the list, they're not coming off.
