The Future is But a Question Mark...

I heard a song this morning, driving in the rain to work, and one line of it just stuck right out to me..."the future is but a question mark." True, so true. None of us knows what tomorrow will bring to our life, much less the rest of today or five years from now. It reminded me of the term "bucket list" which for some time now has been used to denote goals or accomplishments or milestone moments in our lives that we hope to experience before we pass on. It must be the theme of my week, because I saw the movie "The Bucket List" this past weekend, (I know, I am really behind on watching movies) I had a friend comment on facebook that she had lived one of her "bucket list" experiences and then this morning a blogger friend wrote a great blog about a bucket list.

As I listened to the song in all of its jazziness, all of this rattled around in my head and got me to thinking about my own bucket list...the things that I have already experienced and can check off and the things still left to do.

I'll share five things accomplished and five things left to do...maybe another day I will re-type the whole list for your reading pleasure. Hey, you can now put that on YOUR bucket list...to be able to read my crazy list!! Hee hee!

Five Bucket List Adventures, already checked off as of today! (in no particular order!!)
  • Be a mom
  • Visit Italy
  • Own my own business
  • Write something that is meaningful (well, it was to me anyway!!)
  • Build a home
Now, for five adventures that are yet to happen for this old gal!
  • Write a book and get published
  • Learn to bale hay (I'm a freak, but I love seeing bales of hay in a field, would love to do it- just once!)
  • Travel back to Italy and see the Running Man at Pompeii!
  • Spend some time in Ireland, visiting the places my ancestors lived and died.
  • See a Broadway play.
...your turn! Leave me your five in the comments, and if anyone has the resources to help me accomplish any of my five...feel free to let me know!

Living Happily in the Moment!
