The Bucket List

Okay, so I saw this great comedy with morgan freeman and jack nicholson called the bucket list the other night. They both realize that they only have 6 months to live. While sitting next to eachotherin the hospital being miserable they decide the best way to go out is to live their last few months to the fullest. The movie is about them writing a bucket list and completing all the things they listed on it. It helped them find joy and meaning in their lives. Some of the things on their bucket list included sky diving, race car driving, witnessing something majestic, climbing the himilayas. The movie was funny and very inspiring so I decided to create my own bucket list. If you guys like you should see it or just write a few things that would be on your bucket list. Things you'd really like to accomplish during our short time here on earth. My bucket list (which I now carry around with me everywhere I go) includes:

My friend from ireland had the great idea of putting things on the list that you've already done. So I included a few things that I can already check off my list to give me a boost forward. These aren't all of them, but most. If you guys get time I'd love to know what would be on your bucket list!!! My bucket list is 1 lined piece of paper front and back.
