So a recent commercial on MTV promoting a new show called " What do you want to do before you die?" triggered surprisingly a thought process in my head. Check out the video below:
Mission Playboy
It made me think of the movie "The Bucket List" and the butterfly effect used often in popular culture. I started to think how my bucket list would look like. Although it sounds crazy considering my age and health I realized that there are tons of "ifs, ands and buts" that I would like to accomplish in this lifetime. No one is ever promised tomorrow, so might as well make the best of it, right?! Hopefully after reading this you would like to share a few of your items on your bucket list?! If so email me, I am curious and just maybe we can accomplish some of the items on our list together! In the meantime I will list off some items that I should slowly start checking off before all of a sudden I turn around and I am 70 still wondering about the "what if's".Of course some of the items require money, time and may seem impossible, but then again am I just making excuses?!If I reaaaallly wanted to do it, could I?

Spot on! I couldn't agree with you more. It's never too early to decide to go after what you want in life. I made a bucket list of my own this past summer and it's been one of the best things I've done. It's challenged me to do things that I wouldn't have otherwise. You've got a great list. I've even accomplished "ride on a elephant," and it was in Thailand! It had to be one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Good luck! I bet you'll be able to get all the things on this list done.
