The topic of the "BUCKET LIST" is a little morbid, but I've been putting off creating my list for some time now. I realize that I'm not that old....but I'm also not getting any younger, and if there is one thing I know for sure, it's that time gets away from us faster than we'd care to admit.
I've had a running list in my head. Some are one time events, others are goals for myself. Here are some categories of items, events, and other experiences I'd like to explore before I am gone for good....
For simplistic purposes, I will begin with a bullet pointed list:
- Learn to read music
- Play an instrument (Piano? pick up violin again? or Bass Guitar?---all three!)
- Learn Spanish, then Italian
- Start (and publish) my Coffee Table Book concept
- Travel: Spain, Greece, Chile, Argentina, (see more of Mexico), return to Germany (with Jade), Italy, France, and Austria. See Morocco, India, China, Japan....and more. (Food, art, culture, and places to see.)
- R.V. tour the U.S. with JB and mountain bikes in tow----visit as many brew-pubs as humanly possible along the way.
- Mtn. Bike & hike the Arizona Trail, end to end.
- Learn to ski
- Attend a yoga retreat (or two or more)
- Own a successful business (massage, jewelry, aromatherapy, yoga, and organic/natural body care products)
- Take continuing education classes in Massage. (LaStone, chakra alignment, Thai Yoga Massage, Aromatherapy, more Anatomy!)
- Make yoga a regular practice for me. Learn more about it, and learn to read/speak Sanskrit.
- Return to school to get my Master's in Art History, then teach Art History.
- Make a healthy lifestyle for myself and children/family. (LIVE active and EAT healthy)
- Road-Trip the Pacific Coast Highway end to end in the Jeep.
- Volunteer for the National Forest Service (camp ground host & trail maintenance)
I think that's a good start. I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now, and there will be more that pop up. For now, I've got some work to do!
