Even though the “Bucket List” may be a little outdated I still love the idea of having a list of things to do “before you kick the bucket.” Why not? Some of the things on my list everyone has and a few things probably not.
If I had to specifically name each and every bucket list item then there would be a million and everyday something would be added. A lot of times, I think we add things to our own Bucket List after we have done them! Regardless, here is what I have up to now!
Remember, it’s not about the list… it’s about the experience.. the journey. I hope you will continue to tune in to see what I have learned.
