Bucket List

Lately I've been fascinated with the idea of a bucket list. I think it is an interesting method of getting to know a person by learning what it is they aspire to in life. Being at this juncture of my timeline, and after seeing a quarter of a century of winters, it is time to write down some goals. I say that because I think at my age I've experienced enough to know what I value as important and attainable for my future, but I'm also young enough to reminisce on my childhood dreams. This is my first attempt at making a "bucket list" and I'm sure its something I'm going to expand on and continuously come back to... but its a start.

My Bucket List
