Bucket List

This morning, I watched The Bucket List (Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson). All in all, an OK movie that deals with that timeless question: If you knew you were going to die in six months, what would you want to do? Not always a pretty thing to think about. But... what if ????

Some of the things on their list was predictable. Skydive. Drive a Mustang Shelby. See a majestic wonder. They traveled across the world. And, as luck would have it, one character had unlimited resources when it came to money. Most of us don't have that. So... what would you want to do ??

Seems like when it comes down to it, it would be a list of the things we regretted in life. But life should be lived without regrets. If you think you'll regret doing, or not doing, something later in life, shouldn't the time to to decide that is in the moment? and not regret it later??

Sure, there are little things we might regret. And some of the regrets we may have can only become regrets in hindsight. Knowing that you made each choice wisely, given the information you had to make that decision, is the best way to avoid having regrets.

For me, my Bucket List would include:

* taking a few more chances when it comes to meeting new people.
* making more time for my family, my kids
* more schooling!
* find more joy in my life
* know that I brought joy to others in my life

Why not start that Bucket List today? Most of them are easy enough to work on each and every day. And in the long run, it isn't always what we accomplished that matters most. What really matters is who you loved, and who loved you.

HUGS, and ~LOVE~ to everyone!!
