Why You Should Have A Bucket List

Let's face it, we all get into a rut in our lives. We go to work, come home, do household chores, eat dinner, watch TV, spend a little time with the family and go to bed. And repeat.

The lack of disposable cash doesn't help.  What we need is some adventure!  Here's a thought; you can make a bucket list that isn't costly.

Before I met my husband, some of the things on my bucket list were:

1. Have a New Years Eve kiss like in "When Harry met Sally"

2. Go for a picnic in a park

3. See a wild bear

All have been checked off thanks to hubby.  And in one year!  The bear sighting took a while.

They are simple, but doable things!  My list is plenty long but infused with similarly easy tasks.  I certainly don't want to skydive like former President George H. W. Bush did on his 80th birthday!

I would like to go on a wine tasting tour, visit the Statue of Liberty, visit the Midwest. You get the idea.

A bucket list helps us look to the future AND get us off the couch. Trust me, we need to get out more!

What about a family bucket list?  When was the last time you and the kids went hiking or swimming (not in a pool)?  Nature offers a great deal to choose from.

I could go on and on with ideas, but I will let you handle this part.  If you need ideas, there are several websites that offer help.  Like www.bucketlist.org.  Don't kick this down the road.  (I couldn't resist).
