Bucket List

Life can be made up of one list after another. There's the traditional "honey-do" list or the "to-do" list filled with cleaning and organizing. Or you have your shopper's list filled with groceries or things you need to buy for crafts. Basically, life can be filled up with lists. 

There's one list that I feel the need to create. A Bucket List. A list of things that I would like to accomplish during my life. Some things are little and some things are big. But they're all things that I want to do and things that I want to get out of this life. I want to live life to the fullest that I possibly could. 

So here is my B  u  c  k  e  t L  i  s  t, and we'll see how much I can actually get accomplished:

I'm sure there are plenty more I could add and I might do so as I get older. With not only the new year looming but also me getting another year older, I start to look at all the things I want to accomplish by this time next year. Whether or not that will happen, I do not know. But I look forward to where life's journeys will take me and the plan that God has laid out for me to follow. 2012 should be a very interesting year.
