I am 32 years old. I get a little choked up saying that. Why does life seem to move so slowly when you are a child or a teen, but so quickly as an adult? I can remember saying, "I can't wait for high school!", "I can't wait to drive!", "I can't wait to graduate!" Little did I know that I was wishing my time away. Time seems to speed up at the age of 21. You hit that milestone (Some hit it a little harder than others!), and life moves at double time. So, today I'm looking at my life in perspective. I figure I have about 40 to 50 good years left. It's time to make a bucket list. I have my students create lists all year long in their writer's notebooks, and I have an abundance of lists in my notebook, but I've never created a bucket list. If you don't know what a bucket list is, it is a list of things you would like to accomplish before you die. I'm keeping it realistic. Here it goes!
1. Visit Yellowstone
2. Own a pool
3. Tour Asia
4. See a saguaro cactus
5. Drink a cafe au lait in Paris
6.
This was much harder than I expected. It's definitely a work in progress.
This is an interesting list, I would like to know the story behind each item on the list. I have done 1, 4, and 5, I have no desire for 2. I am thinking about 3.
ReplyDeleteI want to see the Northern Lights. Plus many other things.
Hmmm, makes me want to create one, too. I haven't done any of these unless you count the Intex pools Target sells.
ReplyDeleteHaven't made one yet and now that I'm retired I should. It's good to have goals. I always wanted to see the Rocky Mountains, so I guess I have mentally started one!
ReplyDeleteIt is harder than expected! I've not written mine down..but one that is a definite is I want to live in England for at least 3 months. It'll be a long time from now -- after my kids are grown up and Andy and I can take off for a few months and not be missed too much.
ReplyDeleteI {heart} lists. :)
