13 Things I will Do Before I Die

I was flipping through the channels the other day and stumbled on the across it just as The Bucket List is coming on.  I had seen it before last year and it’s a really good movie but has some morbid overtones and a bit of a sad ending but even with all that is still a great movie.  The basic premise of the movie is two men find out they have brain cancer and get an idea to complete a bucket list, essentially a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. 

So it g0t me thinking, with what happened to Kim it made me realize that this life is a lot shorter than any of us would like to believe, and we have to learn that we have to stop worrying about being alive, and start to go out and live.  So…this weeks Friday 13 I decided to write 13 things that I will do before I die.  I challenge all of you who read this to comment with your own list of things that you will do before you die.  I want you to put your list in the comments of here and maybe we’ll all get some new ideas.

Besides…it never hurts to think about tomorrow today, because you never know just how many more tomorrows you have left.

1. Go Skydiving

2. Learn to play the bagpipes

3. See the Aurora Borealis

4. Go to Oktoberfest in Munich

5. Visit the Vatican

6. Write a Book

7. Learn Sign Language

8. Learn to sail a boat

9. See the Earth from space

10. Go diving with sharks

11. Ride to the Grand Canyon

12. See Ireland and visit the land of my ancestors.

13. Be someone’s mentor

Well there you have it, I’ll add to this list from time to time as I have a lot more things I want to do, this was just a random pick of some of them.

Here’s your turn, every person who reads this, I want you to add in the comments section 10 things from your personal bucket list.  And if you don’t have one or have never thought about it, now is the time to start.

Don’t forget, the purpose of making this list is so you can cross things off so you should make an effort in your life to do these things so once you’ve made your list you can start crossing them off!
