MY BUCKET LIST

I suppose doing the work I do it’s not uncommon for me to sit and ponder the meaning of life…….
Do I have the work/family balance right.  Have I done all I would like to do before I fly away on my Easy-jet plane to heaven?  Have I made the most of my time here on earth?  Given that I encounter possibly every kind of dying scenario on my travels and message giving during the events my biggest reflection of these moments is how quickly life passes us by. So many people these days are passing younger and younger and gone are the days when it was normal to live till 94 ! Is it the pace of life we live? Very different to our parents era when I genuinely feel life was perhaps a little calmer, a little less stressed maybe. Certainly there wasn’t the social media invasion that our lives seem to encounter every day and that all leads to upsetting the balance and harmony to a degree.
So if this was my chance whilst still living here on earth what would I want to achieve in this life I have so kindly been granted more time to live!
We all have dreams don’t we to some extent but how feasible is it to actually live these dreams?  I thought about having two bucket lists . An every day one made up of simple things and then a more lavish one that would need a lottery win or the attempt ny me to actually save up !…..mmmm that’s quite hard but still worth the effort.
Do you have a bucket list ?   If you do what’s on it and if you don’t what would be number one on the list .   This is mine and maybe it may inspire you .

BUCKET LIST ONE

• See the Northern Lights,  this has been on my it’s for a very long time and can only marvel at the beauty and wonderment of it all . I know there are several ways to visit these and some of them actually on my doorstep in Scotland.

• Visit Venice . As a child my parents would go to Venice 3 and 4 times a year as dad worked out there and he could speak fluent Italian.  I marveled at the stories and the food and the photos and have never made it there yet.

• Swim with the Dolphins .   I love dolphins and have had the chance to feed them but never swim with them. Definitely on my list of things to do before I pass.

• Rent a log cabin in Canada for Kev and I with a log fire and mountain views just to spend time together to simply be in love.

• Visit Niagara Falls . Oh my this is so one of my top picks. The wonderment of it all would reduce me to tears with emotion.

• Meet the Pope . Not sure this could be arranged but I would happily stand in the square at mass and be just as great full.

• Be on the Keith Lemon Show Celebrity juice  . I know this is weird but I love his humour and imagine I could match it !

BUCKET LIST TWO
This is a simpler list that perhaps could be completed in a summer or over a year ….

• Sleep outside under the stars with the kids and a campfire and smores
• Sit in a bath of baked beans ( I know crazy lady )
• Take a horse and carriage ride in Central Park
• Make a record
• Have my teeth fixed !
• Have long hair
• Have short hair lol can’t decide !
• Feed a lion
• Hold a spider
• Own a parrot
• Learn Spanish
• Write another book
• Go to see the Mona Lisa
• Have a tattoo
• Go paint balling
• Go to a shooting range
• Drive a tank
• Go camping
• Fly a plane
• See Barbra Streisand sing live

These things don’t have to cost money but they have to be things you really want to do. Why not make yours today and see how far you get , get the kids to help or get them to make one too if you have them or just do it for you !  After all this is your list ! Your life dreams and aspirations.
