Also, I feel a bucket list seems like we are all running a race, trying to cram in as much as possible before the clock runs out. I don't like living this way. I like a slower pace. I like days without plans. I like the little moments in life.
But, I am also ambitious. I love to have goals. They help me keep my eye on where I want to be even if I am only slowly scooting down the path.
So instead of a bucket list I am going to call my list a Life List. The things I haven't yet accomplished that I would like to get to someday.
A Life List:
- Make out with my husband at the top of the Eiffel Tower
- Take a road trip to the Grand Canyon
- Become an author with published books
- Take a mission trip to Africa
- Run a marathon
- Learn to snow and water ski
- See Alaska
- Stand on the Great Wall of China
- Live on the east coast
- Stay married to my husband until one of us dies
- Swim in the Mediterranean Sea
- Hand sew a quilt
- Drive a race car
- Have a group of girlfriends that take an annual trip
- Travel with my grown children
- Learn to make homemade jam
- Write a children's book
- Learn to french braid
- Walk the Appalachian Trail
- Hike a fourteener
- Drive across the country in an RV
- Take my mom to Disney World
- Give a motivational speech on a stage in front of an audience
- Learn to play golf
- Meet a president (past or present)
- Volunteer regularly with my children
- Give away half of everything I make to charity
- Have an article published in a magazine
- Read the entire Bible
Do you have a Life List? What's on it?
I love these! I've done the road trip to the Grand Canyon and it is sooo do-able...I might have to steal a few of yours. Like the Great Wall of China one, the annual girls trip, give a motivational speech... I have a few of the same ones (publish a book), stay married till one of us dies... love the RV one.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what else I love? That you acknowledge liking a slower pace. I feel like everyone is so caught up in being so busy all the time, and it's a real buzzkill. Your perspective is refreshing. Keep posting, I love reading your stuff:)
