My Bucket List for 2008
In the movie The Bucket List, two unlikely comrades with terminal cancer team up to fulfill a wish list before kicking the bucket. This sparked Jeff Pulver to create his own bucket list but with a twist:
In the spirit of the movie, and in the spirit of trying to make 2008 be the year that we all start to do some of the things we would like to accomplish one day, I thought it would be fun to reach out to friends across the blogosphere and ask them to share some of the things on their “Bucket List†they hope to remove during 2008. For some of us, these are not necessarily our “New Year’s Resolutionsâ€, but rather things we have been meaning to do for some time that we WILL get done in 2008.
He then tagged a few other bloggers, including Liz Strauss, who, in turned, tagged me. Thanks Liz!
For me, my bucket list goes beyond my New Year’s resolutions, my SMART goals and my one word for 2008. It goes to what I imagine myself wishing I had done or had done more of, should I find myself nearing the end of my life at the year’s end. This is what comes to mind (that I wish to share publicly), in no particular order and given my current finances (a more substantial budget would render a somewhat altered bucket list):
- Spend more time with my kitty purring in my ear.
- Listen more to my husband’s beating heart.
- Write love letters to him. (Shucks, now that won’t be a surprise!)
- Find a way to get to the north shore to watch the eagles soar.
- Meet more of my invisible friends.
- Be in the ‘real’ world more.
- Connect with more of my invisible friends in a real way, if I can’t meet them in person yet.
- Become more physically active.
- Finish selling the first print run of my autobiography.
- Continue searching for a cp-friendly bra.
- See Anne Murray in concert, finally! (I’ve wanted to see her for years and she is finally coming to town on May 5th!)
- Get organized for when I do kick the bucket.
- Make a positive difference or impact on people’s lives.
- Reconnect with my penpal Paivi and my Brownie friend Karen.
I’ll do my best to cross each one off the list by New Year’s Eve 2008.
I’m now tagging Karen Putz, Doug McCaughan, Tris Hussey, Jim Turner, Joanna Young, and Harmony Cornwell (glad to see you back blogging!).
What is on your bucket list for 2008?
