Bucket List? Nah!

I was looking at someone's blog the other day and noticed a tab for a "bucket list."   My daughter told me that she has a bucket list.  I've never had a bucket list, although I set goals.  I've seen the movie, "Bucket List" and liked it alot.  I even cried.  But all of this got me thinking . . . why don't I have one and if I did, what would go on it? 

(And now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure I need a bucket list.  I'm the kind of person who doesn't need to know all the answers to life's greatest questions.  I know enough.  The rest I take on faith.  And I guess the same thing applies to bucket lists - I don't need to DO a lot of things or GO to a lot of places to feel happy.   And maybe that's not even the purpose of a bucket list.   I don't really know.)   But . . .

Before I was married, a friend and I went on a trip across the United States.   We quit our jobs, packed our tent, and headed off.   We were gone for three months and saw a ton of places and had some great experiences.   It was an awesome once-in-a-lifetime trip.  I suppose that's something that could go on a bucket list.   If I did do a bucket list, I should probably start from now, though - not put a bunch of things that I've already done and then cross them off.   That would be cheating.  So, I guess something I would like to do is go on a ghost hunt.   Sounds kind of dumb, I know.   But that would go in my bucket.  I don't have many other things to go in it.  I probably wouldn't even need a bucket - - I think a little mug would do. 

But, for sure, what I would really like to see happen before I die is that all of my children are happily engaged in life (hopefully married and with their own families).  That would be my ultimate bucket list wish :)
