My best friend Lisa has been writing a Bucket List, a list of 25 Things in 25 Years, and that inspired me to write one of my own.
Now, before I post this, I want you to know that this is rather personal, and my first thought after finishing it was "My, those are awfully average things you want to accomplish." But it's my life, and it's what I want, so please be gentle.
Here it is.

Thoughtfully yours,

Love, love, love, love your list. Why you would think that people would say otherwise is beyond me. That is a beautiful list and one that I would probably copy very closely (with a few exception - i.e. teaching... I don't do that.)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, that's really kind of you to say :)
ReplyDeleteI am up for....Adventure #2, 6, 8, & 11
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've completed number one and it's amazing. Fitting for the first item on your list. I PRAY you achieve it.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few that we can cross off our lists together...especially the adventure ones....and the broadway musical(I get to pick the next one).
