My “Bucket” List
January 9, 2008 | Just thinking out loud
Today is a birthday. Not mine, but the guy I love. Richard is 49 today.
50 is a number that once seemed ancient but now is only one year away for Richard, and two for me. A wise man once said, “Old is always 15 years older than you are”.
I feel young. I feel healthy. I feel plugged in to life and to God and to purpose. I still love roller coasters and ministering to teens and hanging out with my family and adventure.
Maybe that is the key. We become old when we fail to notice and enjoy the small and wonderful opportunities all around us. This weekend I plan to see the movie, The Bucket List, with friends. In the movie, two guys meet in the hospital and decide to do all the things they’ve always dreamed of before they kick the bucket.
What is on my bucket list?
- travel to China
- travel to South Africa
- jump out of an airplane
- visit every state in the U.S.
- ride in a hot air balloon
- host a radio show
- hold a grandchild in my arms
- take dance lessons
That’s the just the beginning. There are other very personal dreams that I have that involve loved ones, and for now those remain private, but I want to continue to believe and hope and pursue life and all that it holds.
What about you? What is on your “bucket” list?
