The Bucket List


Everyone should have a bucket list.  I was blessed to have a life threatening illness while in my teens.  Many people comment on my use of the word "blessed" but trust me when I say... I have been blessed by this event in my life.  I have been given a perspective that makes my life even better.  Everyday is a new experience, everyday I want to create another wonderful memory.  A bucket list is a part of this way of living.

A bucket list comprises those things that you absolutely have to do before, well... you kick the bucket.  My list includes the most important, like seeing my children graduate from college, or get married.  It includes baking cookies and playing with my grandchildren.  But a list like this makes you think... and tell the ones you love how important they are to you.

And then my list also contains the crazy things that I just want to experience.  Packing chocolates at my favorite chocolate factory, becoming an ice cream tester, or be the ice cream man for a day.  Driving the truck with the music which draws children running for blocks.  I want to sky dive and para sail.  And I want to eat my way through Europe.

And I want to take all of my children and their spouses and children on a fabulous family vacation!  We spent a lot of years camping... but I want to fly on a Charter plane service and stay in a luxurious hotel on the beach and just play and enjoy my family close around me.  Everyone at once!  This is the best item on my bucket list.

This is a sponsored post for Clear Jet, however, all the points and views are my own.
