Bucket List

No, this post isn't about the movie.  Actually, I've never even seen the movie.  But I do understand the concept.  "Things To Do Before I Die".  I've never really compiled an ongoing list on paper, although I started one once in the back of an old journal. I have accomplished a few things listed in that journal, like going on this specific ride at an amusement park, seeing the Pacific Ocean and going to the Caribbean (on a cruise). 

But today, here are some other things I've been thinking about... here are ten things to do before I kick the bucket.


I'd like to swim with dolphins, preferably in the wild...

Live (yes, be part of the pack, even if briefly) with wolves...

Visit Ireland...

Spend a great deal of time in Australia (not in summertime, though)...

Learn to water ski...

Get a book published that I've written...

Visit Stonehenge...

Learn to dance...

Go spelunking (caving)...

Learn to ride a horse...
...by myself.
Meaning, no one leading me around while I sit atop.
Which means I'd have to get over my fear of horses.
They be big.  I be little.

Do you have a bucket list?  Please do share!

  1. I swam with the dolphins at Discovery Cove in Orlando and it was a wonderful controlled experience. I tried water skiing in high school and failed miserably. Since I'm not a huge fan of water sports anyway, that isn't one I'd care to repeat. But when you get around to visiting Australia, I'd be happy to tag along!

  2. OH I LOVE YOUR LIST!!! I swam with Dolphins in Florida...they are "in the wild" I suppose, but they are so used to human beings that they are quite fun and playful.

  4. "They be big. I be little." LOL Exactly! I'm not keen on horses, for that same reason. Kinda scary.

    Skydiving is on my bucket list. I guess it's kind of a cliched thing to want to do, and I was never all that interested until I saw a Groupon offer for skydiving in my area. Now I want to do it!

    But, I keep imagining myself splatting on the ground and leaving the ex-husband to care for my son...now that IS scary. ;)

  5. With enough time you can do Ireland and Stonehenge during the same trip and come and stay with me. Woohoo. Wouldn't that be great!

  6. I wanted to visit Pompeii, and I've achieved that one. And if you ever make it to Ireland, don't forget to drop by!
