Some things for my Bucket List (by no means is this list all inclusive, it can be expanded at will).
1. Live through the next 3 school years with minimal eh...eh...um, disagreement with my beautiful dear daughter.
2. Help my kids graduate high school and head into adulthood, happy, healthy and with goals in mind, a road map for where they'd like to head.
3. Move away from Atlanta....somewhere warm, with a small town atmosphere, the ability to make a decent living and put down roots for the balance of my life. I'm thinking somewhere in Texas at the moment, but like a good woman reserve the right to change my mind.
4. Find, fall in love with and marry the man I will grow old with.
5. Become a Grandmother (in all due time) and to spoil my grandchildren (mine, his, ours, whomever they belong to) rotten, then hand 'em back over to their parents when I'm ready for some of Granny's peace and quiet.
6. Visit Australia--for an extended period. At least a month, maybe two or three.
7. Lose the weight that found me the last 5 years or so.
8. Watch the sun rise from a mountain.
9. Watch the sun set in San Diego at the Sunset Cliffs/La Jolla.
10. Visit Galveston, TX
11. Visit Colorado during Snow season.
12. Visit Falls Creek Australia in July.
13. Get my Novice, then Amateur, then Advance Ham Radio license.
14. Finish college (?)
15. Buy a winning lottery ticket--over $100
16. See my first love one more time.
17. Buy the car of my dreams (which at present is anything that drives...lol)
18. Learn to trust
19. Learn to control what I say, how I say it and to whom I say it
20. Live well, forgive often, laugh hard, and love much....
21. Reunite all the estranged or lost bits and pieces of my family...even one lost sheep is one too many.
22. Visit the town in N. Ireland that my family hails from - Enniskillen, Fermanagh, N. Ireland and try to locate as many direct relatives as possible. Which should be about as difficult a task as could be, because the link between Enniskillen and Boston, MASS, USA is broken. I have no clue who in our family was brave enough to leave N. Ireland to come to the shores of Boston and start the American side of the family. No names. No dates. No connection. I would say this is one of my more important bucket list items. God willing, I have enough time and the ability to make this one happen.
That's just off the top of my head. I'm still in a bit of a funk, so I don't know, I may edit, delete, add, subtract or whatever to this list.
Anyone reading? Anyone have Bucket Lists? Suggestions for mine? Hello? Am I talking to myself? (I probably am, and that's OK, because I have 15 year old twins. I'm used to talking to myself or a wall!). ;)

Hi Jeny,
ReplyDeleteNo, you're not talking to yourself!
Great list, keep adding to it, and keep taking small steps towards making those things happen.
Good luck with them all.
Ian
Thanks, Ian! Glad to know someone besides me and Mark are reading my blog postings.
ReplyDeleteEspecially someone from the other side of the world. You saw on my list that your part of the world is of great interest to me....the snowfields, the Blue Mountains, Great Barrier Reef, Nullabor Plains, the Apostles, and the entire Western Australia coastline....not to mention Uluru (which we Yanks insist on calling Ayers Rock still).
So much to see and do in your adopted land. Maybe one day you can show me around while I work on MY bucket list!
Cheers!
An Update: I have one thing to tick off my Bucket List. #16. See my fist love one more time. Done. Complete. Next!!!! :))
ReplyDeleteI have a few additions. Will be posting an updated Bucket List very soon! Keep an eye out for it!
