So I was over on Sweet Potato Pie's blog the other day, and saw her post about her bucket list. It hit me at a time when a lot of these sorts of things had already been milling about in my mind, keeping me up at night. So I decided it might be a good idea to start on my own list. It was harder than I thought. I did half of it pretty quickly - the last half took a lot more thought. I decided that this is really just a Bucket List of sorts. Rather than it being all about places I want to visit or things I want to do, it also includes things that are important to me... things I wouldn't be content to leave this life without knowing. Does that make sense? I wonder if that's a control freak thing. In any case, here's my list... I'll probably change it a gazillion times :) Feel free to join me and make your own list too - I'd love to know what's keeping you up at night ;)
25 Things
1. record my music
2. be healthy
3. walk Luna - she deserves it
4. be able to move freely again
5. see the Northern Lights
6. go whale watching & swim with dolphins
7. live in a small town with seasons
8. have my big fat butt fit on a kayak again
9. and I want to OWN that kayak
10. and I want to live near a lake where I USE that kayak
11. learn all about photography instead of fake it
12. really play the guitar instead of fake it
13. find a way of volunteering that is really fulfilling
14. keep writing
15. live in a house that reaches it’s potential

22. always try to be Christlike

I love your list! All of your goals are wonderful and very realistic, I could see you accomplishing all before you meet the Maker. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a list maker so this really appeals to me!! It was so much fun to read yours!! I think I will make one too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Meg!!

wow, that is some list. you might not realize it, but you've already done some of those things. the big ones. nos. 23 & 24 were checked off when you had your kids.
ReplyDeleteoh, and as far as no. 11, knowing all the technical stuff doesn't make one a photographer. having a good eye is probably more important and from what i can tell, you have two ;).
If you lived by me I would make you come to PUG meetings with me. You'd love getting together with other photographers! Great bucket list. Great bucket.
