WHERE IS YOUR BUCKET LIST?

Where is your bucket list?

Do you in fact have a list --  a physical piece of paper with your dreams and quests detailed and prioritized?

Have you been strategically crossing targets off you list over the years?

When I have a bucket list quest to tackle I write it out -- look at it every which way and keep it in my face. 

Example:  If I wanted to learn to become a better guitarist, I would park it in front of the TV.  Then I would pick it up every time I passed by.  I would play a scale or riff or blues chord  progression.  Before you know it...  you are getting better!!!

I would also write my own music -- ya really!  And sing!  Why not?

I wrote my first song on accordion when I was eight.  I still remember bits of it.  The tune was way too similar to a song on the radio at the time and the lyrics were about vampires -- hey I was eight!!! -- but I did it -- I figured it out and was able to play the song from start to finish.

I guess I'm an in my face kinda girl.  I'm visual and like to see progress.  I even start everyday with lists of things to do, crossing off completed items throughout the day.  At the end of the day I rewrite my lists for the next day.  It's very effective. 

So, curious as I am, I ask you -- where is your bucket list?

  1. I have a long bucket list and I'm not waiting for a partner, a different time in my life etc. to make those happen that I can take care of now! I'm taking my teenager on a hot air balloon ride this summer and I can't wait!!! I love the Tim McGraw song "Live Like You Were Dying"
