I've been fortunate enough to be able to cross several items off of my bucket list over the last several years (e.g. finishing college and flossing regularly). I even created a list of things that I probably would've put on my bucket list if I had not already done them before I got around to putting them on there (e.g. meeting Charlie Daniels, riding an elephant, and seeing UFOs). But still, I have plenty left on my list to accomplish. And, I do make small revisions to the sucker every couple of years as my goals and interests change.
A lot of the goals on my bucket list
are pretty general, so that I have a better chance of achieving them.
For example, I would love to learn another language. Specifically, I
would like to learn ASL, but if I become fluent in Spanish, I want to
be able to cross that huge accomplishment off my list. So, I have
opted just to list “learn another language” rather than “learn
ASL.” Make sense? As for me and my bucket list, I have decided to
set many realistic, achievable goals so that I can celebrate my
successes, while still “reaching for the stars” in some areas.
Now that you know all the back story, I
present you with my current list:
Write a children's book and have it
published.
Travel abroad.
Time travel.
Learn another language.
See each of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
Become telekenetic.
Ride a horse.
Learn to play a musical instrument.
Join MENSA.
Quit my job and vagabond across the country.
Swim with dolphins.
Be on a gameshow.
Ride in a hot air balloon.
Eat truffles (the mushrooms, not the chocolates).
(If I added all the specific places to
which I'd like to travel, the list would be about two pages longer.)
I must say, my current list looks much
more jazzy than the one I had two years ago. I'm sure my list will
look completely different in another two years. I anticipate, within
that time-frame, crossing off at least 7 items. :)
