So there’s a meme, started by @Ellen27, about bucket lists. She was inspired by the film of the same name which starred Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket.
So I’ve been thinking about what to put on my bucket list. And I can’t think of a single thing.
Sure, there are things I want; more money, more time, more clients. But nothing that I feel I have to or need to do before I die.
Sure there are places I want to visit; Paris springs to mind. But, again, not something I feel I absolutely need to do before I die.
I’ve seen lists of things like ‘be a kinder person every day’ and ‘spend more time with my family’. That’s not what I call a ‘do it before you die’ thing.
So I guess it means I’m content. I have the big things I want: a husband I love, a son who is becoming more wonderful every day, I am my own boss. My health could be better but there isn’t much I can do about that.
So I guess my Bucket List is to just…live.
And I’m okay with that.
