Bucket lists

Might be fun to share our personal bucket lists if you have one? I keep adding to mine and checking off if I’ve done something. It’s what keeps me going between tests and appointments and scans. I have small things like going to a drive in movie that is about an hour and a half away from me to larger ones like visiting an old friend in Australia. I currently can’t travel by air due to fluid on my lung lining but hope to again one day. I currently live in the Northeast US and am planning trips with my girlfriends that are driveable. Next up is Inner Harbor in Baltimore. We plan short weekend trips as I still work every day but the planning and expectation of having something fun to look forward to really makes me happy. Anyone else do this?

I don’t have a bucket list currently, but having things to look forward to I think helps keep me going.

I have a f@*k it list - it is astounding how much we worry or fuss over things in life.

Suddenly, at Stage IV, there is little to get too upset over. So, what could have been an annoyance is now something I put into perspective and laugh at!

I pray you get the job!!!!

What a great idea! I don't have an official list (well, I've scrawled notes on papers, that of course got lost... :) ), but I very much want to take up painting and doing artwork with different papers. I also want to organize my photos/momentos (sp?). And get back to Hawaii or Costa Rica or someplace new where the ocean temp is high and I can just float. I also want to tutor young people in the juvenile justice system. These always feels a month or two within reach, but I get bogged down with the day-to-day... Thanks for asking!

p.s. I've had a trip to Portugal on my list forever, and I leave one week from today! :)

Portugal?? How exotic! Can’t wait to hear about it. Have fun!

That’s a great idea. You live in such an amazing country as well, you could achieve loads without leaving it.

I would love to see the blossom in Japan, the Fall on the East Coast (or wherever it looks amazing in the U.S), stay in a log cabin in Canada, maybe snowboard again (that’s how my husband and I met). They are the big ones. Little things are laughing every day, singing at the top of my voice (only joyful to myself), seeing the sea, eating cake, going out on my bike.

Keep us informed of your achievements.
