It started with a random conversation on the way to dinner with friends. A bucket list. What it is and what would be on it. Did the term ‘bucket list” actually come from the movie or was it around long before? Then, I was put on the spot. So…what would be on your bucket list? In a moment of pressure, I realized I hadn’t really organized my thoughts before to make a bucket list. So I gave the logical answer. The first thing on my bucket list, would be…to make….a bucket list….of course. The response? Laughter. pfft. If I don’t know whats on the list, then I can’t do it now can I?
In 2011, one goal I have set is to write stuff down. To make various lists of sorts. In the midst of chaos and overwhelming mental checklists, there is something redeeming about taking a pen and making a list on paper. It makes the chaos become more conquerable. And lets be honest, it sure does feel good striking through items on the list.
The Bucket list is a new blog series I am going to start. An online journal of the things I want to do and when I get the chance to do them. The first item in this series? Clearly…is making the list. Happy 2011!
