Everybody has one . . .
That list of dreams they hope to make a reality before they take their last breath on earth.
My bucket list of no different, it is full of things I long to do and places I daydream about seeing. I realize that actually completing my eternally long bucket-list in one lifetime is pretty much impossible, unless I became independently wealthy(like 10 years ago) and didn’t have to work another day in my life. Even then, I would have to be traveling nonstop pretty much for the next 50 years to tick off every item on my bucket list. Sounds great to me, but I realize that isn’t realistic. Honestly, as long as I am actively checking things off for the rest of my days, I will be satisfied.
Without further ado, my PARTIAL list(in no particular order), because it will take some time for me to transfer the ENTIRE list from my journal to my blog . . . believe it or not, there are close to 300 items on my list. 😬
