April 18, 2023 What's on Your Bucket List?

A cool, cloudy day!  The highs only in the 50's.  Quite a bit colder than the 92's we had a few days ago!

Well, I tried both pairs of shoes and neither of them fit well.  I will return them today and try two more tomorrow!  

So, what is on your bucket list?  Or, taking a step back, do you even have a bucket list?

Several months ago, someone asked me about my bucket list and I realized that I really didn't have one.

Then yesterday, in talking with folks and telling them how much I loved the show 'The Good Karma Hospital', I made the odd statement of saying that visiting India was something I would put on my bucket list!  That lead me to wondering how many folks create bucket lists.

Surveys show that between 95% and 99% of the folks interviewed made bucket lists.  Are you in that 95 to 99% range or are you in the 1 to 5% range?  

Wonder what's on most folks bucket list?  Travel seems to be number one on most folks lists.   Travel to exotic places, travel to a particular location like the Great Wall of China, travel to see something like the northern lights or the Pyramids and travel to do something like take an African Safari.

High on most lists is running a marathon.  Not sure about that one but it would not be on my bucket list...how about yours?

Completing a goal is another favorite item on bucket lists.  Writing a book, learning a language, creating a garden, earning Master's or Doctorate.

Gaining a milestone like living to a specific age, spending more time with family and friends and securing financial security are also on most folks bucket lists.

One last thing that many include is doing something adventurous like skydiving, bungee jumping, climbing a mountain, driving in a race, surfing the great waves or any extreme sport.  Again, not sure about any of those possibilities.  They would not be on my bucket list.  Would you include them?

Writing about bucket lists makes me wonder if I should make one.  I will have to think about it. What about you...have you made one?  Or, are you going to make one?  Something to think about...

Talk with you tomorrow...
