the bucketlist

today we saw the bucketlist. if you havent seen it then here is an idea of what it is about. 2 old guys are talking about the things they want to do before they die. time is running out so they go do those things. it is the list of things they want to do before they kick the bucket. i dont have a bucketlist. maybe i do mentally but i dont really have a list of things to do. i think that this may sound contradictory but i dont have a list of things i want to do before i die. i just do the things i want to do before i die right now. i dont wait for later. i am always trying to live the list each day. i dont want to be 75 and look at a list. at 75 i want to have done everything on the list twice. i think of things that i want to do or see and i try to go after it. there are some things that i do want to do before i die but havent done them yet. i am not putting it off until later. i just havent gotten to theose things yet. i know it may sound strange but the point is this, i dont want to make a list of things i will do someday because that day may never come. i may look back and say "why didnt i do the things i wanted to do?". i want no regrets. i guess it is healthy to think about the things we want to do but the problem is if we just put them on the bucketlist we may not get to them until its too late to enjoy it.

so what are the things that you want to do in life? make a list and get started now. i think i will make a list this weekend. i may share the list tomorrow.

I want to go to all 50 states. When are you taking me to Hawaii since that's the only one we haven't been to?

Funny, Auny.

I think I must be the most dull girl ever. I seriously have nothing to put on a list. There's the usual thing that I want to raise my kids and enjoy my grandkids and all that (and that makes me sound old, doesn't it). I want to do all that God has for me to do, which includes working with orphans and families, etc. But, as far as a list of other things that I want to do...places I want to go, activities, etc....NOTHING. Is there something wrong with me? :0

I've traveled enough to suit me. There are lots of places that I love to go, but they are all places that I've been to (um, Saline lake!!). :-) If I knew I was dying soon, I'd just want to go see people, my friends and family...not go places and do activities.
