If you have never heard of a bucket list, it is a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. I guess it could be called the "farm list" of things to do before buying the farm, or the "dust list" of things to do before biting the dust, etc, but the originators of the term chose the "kick the bucket" motif for whatever reason. I think this concept is really great because goals are the fuel behind any great achievement and such a list allows you to have some goals tangibly in front of you. My bucket list isn't very long, probably because I didn't start it until March (approximately), but here it is.
Bob's Bucket List Extraordinaire:
1.) Learn Japanese
2.) Buy a racehorse and see it do well and retire happily
That's it. Maybe I'll add to this later, in fact it would seem likely that I will. Now, mind you, this list is not my list of MAJOR goals by any means. I feel that my most important life goals are designed for a more significant type of categorization than this smaller bucket list, but these are some little things I want to do before I leave this world behind. Hopefully if you don't already have one, this post will inspire you to come up with a list of a few small things you'd like to accomplish before you, too, kick the proverbial bucket.
It's never too late to make a bucket list. With that being said, let's hope that we all still have a lot of time left to work on checking off our respective lists!
