Another year has come and gone. I started my Bucket List 3 years ago. Each year I pull it out to see what I’ve accomplished during the year.
I’ve given birth to a beautiful daughter, survived a divorce, given the United Stated government 35 34 32 years of service, raised a daughter as a single mother, sent her through college, watched her get married and give birth to a beautiful son son and daughter. I’ve traveled, made new friends and kept old ones, purchased a home, a luxury car and I’ve been able to bank a few dollars. I’ve survived my father’s death and become closer to my siblings. I’ve strengthen my faith in God, I’m giving back to the community, and I can truly say that I’m working to be an example.
Even at this stage of my life, I still have work to do. I’ve been thinking about retirement in the next 2 3 5 years and what I want to accomplish before and after I reach that milestone. I decided to make a Bucket List. Here are a few items that I’ve added or achieved to date:
- Drive Across Country
- Travel Abroad – Africa, Italy, Hong Kong, London, Thailand
Cruise To Alaska(Decided to mark this off my list. I don’t cruise well).Open a Brick and Mortar for Sugar Kisses Boutique(Decided to mark this off my list. Not willing to work this hard anymore).Plant A Vegetable Garden- Learn A Second Language – Spanish
Skydive(Decided to mark this off my list. I’m not willing to take this risk)- Attend the Kentucky Derby
- Eat Lobsters In Maine
- Visit Martha’s Vineyard
- See the fall foliage in the New Hampshire area
Spend a week in New York shopping and seeing a Broadway show- Go horseback riding on the beach
- Add a sunroom to my hone
- Travel to Hawaii, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Jamacia,
Virgin Islands - Plant flower beds along my new fence line
- Build a greenhouse
I’ll be adding to my list as I contemplate the next phase of my list. Have you created a Bucket List? Let us know what’s on yours. If you haven’t created a list, name a few things that you would add to yours.
September 6th is my son's birthday too! Great bucket list. I still have to make one!
Happy Pre-Birthday to you. Sounds like you have a lot of great things on your "Bucket List".
I have TRIED to create a list but due to lack of $$$ I just find it depressing knowing that chances are I'd never be able to check any of them off my list.
Hopefully in the next few years our situation will change for the better and I can finally come up with my own list.
GOOD LUCK! I hope you complete them all.
Well advance happy birthday then. You have a great blog and it has great content. It's nice to drop by.
