The term “bucket list” became popular after the movie “The Bucket List” starring Jack Nicolson and Morgan Freeman. They play two older gentlemen who make a list of things they need to experience before they “kick the bucket.” I personally don’t like the term bucket list; it puts the focus on the end game – death. The point of the list is the opposite – to live. I am a constant list maker. I live by them…literally. I make grocery list, “To Do” list, purchase list, and wish list. You name it; I make a list about it. So for me this is the Master List, the momma of all lists. This is the list I want to live by.

Our more free spirited individuals will say, “ life should just be lived no need for a list.” Unfortunately, I’m too controlling for all that. I created this blog just so I can force myself to live more. Some of us, myself in particular, are not naturally endowed with the ability to experience life freely. We need something or someone us to stop an smell the roses. So I sat down and took sometime to really think about what I want to experience about this life. Once I started making the list, I was actually surprised with some of the things in our world that I already had the opportunity to experience and I was excited about the prospect of what else that was out there to experience. What was more interesting was seeing the list of items that I really wanted to do but have never done before even though I could have easily done them – this reminded me about how much of our lives we do not do what we most want to do.

My list came to about 100 items that I definitely need to experience in my life. I will keep you all posted on the progress I make on my list.

Feel free to use my list to help generate your own ideas for your list.
