My Bucket List

Have you seen the movie, "The Bucket List"? I loved that movie. On Monday at work I received an email inquiring about my bucket list. I was requested to check off the items on the list that I have done and forward on to whomever. I found it quite interesting, when pondering after the fact, and wanted to share with you.

I was quite impressed with my bucket list. A couple hours after I forwarded my bucket list onto others, I received one from someone that had never been kissed under the mistletoe, had never gone ice-skating or been to Washington, D.C. She never climbed a lighthouse or watched someone die or played cops and robbers. It then occurred to me that I earned my place in life. I was once where she was and I've done a lot of living since then and experienced lots of things. And I realized that I am proud of where my journey has taken me and look forward to what is yet to come. How is your bucket list looking?
