Bucket List
I love to-do lists. I make one everyday at work and get a cheap thrill when I mark something off. So much so that I always write down, “Make a to-do list” so I have something to mark off and get me started.
So it should make sense that I have a Bucket List. I have been working on this list for about a year now, first I was just keeping it in my head but I figured I should write it down so I could be able to check it off. I made this decision when I finally watched “The Bucket List” with Morgan Freeman whom I love! He is my life’s narrator. When I read anything, it’s always his voice. And maybe I hear him narrate my life sometimes too, but maybe that should go on my insanity page.
However, I do have a problem with my list. I have no issue with adding things to it. It’s marking things off that’s the problem. So here goes my ever growing list:
