My Bucketlist

a mom blog community

This is one of the hardest things for me to think about. Things to do before I kick the bucket? I am not sure if its because my life is currently filled with so many "right now" moments that I cant seem to think of anything or if it is that I am not ambitious enough but thinking about my bucket list made me want to bolt the other direction, initially at least.

However, when I sat to meditate, my mind opened up to a list of things I would love to do before I kick the bucket, so here it goes!

1. Get my PhD in Psychology
2. Go backpacking across Europe with my sister
3. Go on treks and nature outings with my little one as she grows
4. Own my own office space
5. Write a book
6. Go on a silent retreat
7. Go on a yoga retreat to an exotic place like Bali
8. Cook exotic food and perfect South Indian cooking
9. Built a scrapbook of memories for my little one
10. Go on a painting/writing retreat to Rome, maybe
11. Perfect my swimming skills
12. Go Scuba diving
13. Go on a girlie holiday
14. Learn to dance
15. Give up anger
16. Travel far and wide!

While I was pondering and breaking my head on what my bucket list ought to be I chanced upon www.bucketlist.org a fun website to look at what others are dreaming about and hoping to achieve.

Finally, while some of these items are something I would love to do/be, none of them "have" to be done of course. My takeaway from this exercise has been to take a step back from my usual grind and dream :-) what are your dreams for tomorrow?
