Bucket List
A bucket list is a list of 10 things you want to do before you die (”kick the bucket”). What is amazing is that I have had to think about this, thus reflecting the total lack of planning in my life to date.
My list in no particular order:
1. Get published, perhaps even enough to make a living from
2. Play bass guitar at a professional gig
3. Retire happily married to my beautiful wife and see my children start their own lives
4. Go on a sailing cruise
5. Tour the United States
6. Go on a cycling/barge holiday in Europe
7. Start a business with Wendy and give up writing software
8. Sort out the God issue in my life for once and for all
9. Learn to ride a motorbike
10. Love more.
Feel free to create your own bucket list and add a comment linking to it below. Linking back to my blog is optional but you might kick the bucket sooner if you don’t.
Sounds pretty nice to me. May you succeed in all your dreams.
Great minds think alike! I just posted the same list which was sparked by Mr. Bob’s thread. Good luck wth #8 and let me know your finding please.
Great philosophers, saints, and other religious men have tried for centuries to accomplish #8. I am thinking you added it to the list so you can live forever by telling death every time he tries to visit you, “Wait, I’m not ready, I haven’t finished #8 yet!!” and then death will say, “Oh, ok, well I’ll just come back next year and see how you’re doing by then.”
Should have said “religious persons” or “religious thinkers.” There have been lots of women, too.
Great list and “love more” is the most important. Great post.
