Do you believe in the bucket list? Creating a dream list of sorts, a map or list of goals you wish to accomplish before you “kick the bucket”? Morbid or lofty, the bucket list is a popular idea! Recently I stumbled across a bucket list challenge. It lists some of the most common bucket list ideas, asks you to copy and paste into your own blog or Facebook page, and check off those things you have accomplished in your life. I’m game, but I’m going to add a twist. Why not add a few of your own bucket list items to the bottom? Truthfully, I fear most of mine but will be travel related, but I shall try and think outside the box!

Keep dreaming!

I don't need have any bucket lists actually for myself, I don't need them I'm content.
Wow, you have checked a lot off your bucket list! I think I’m going to make a list, it sounds like fun.
I agree…it IS sad that kids can’t make prank calls anymore. Although as an adult, I”m pretty glad that we don’t receive prank calls either!
Also, why is “cried yourself to sleep” on a bucket list!?? 🙂
wow that’s some list and Yes why shouldn’t everyone figure out a dream list. This way you can at least try to do some of it.
Looks like you have quite the amazing list, and lots are checked off! I recently checked off visiting Japan off my list
Found a dead body? This is not my ideal bucket list, but I did find a not-so-alive rabbit on my porch this morning thanks to the cat.
I guess you have checked a lot off your bucket list , i don’t have one i never really thought of it , but i have done a few that’s on yours 🙂
I guess we’re all curious as to what it was that could have killed you, 🙂 I don’t have a bucket list and never had. I’ve done quite a few on the list but at my age that’s no surprise 🙂
You have checked off a lot, I am afraid to say I couldn’t check off that many.
Oh fun! Now I’m dying to know what it is you did that could have killed you.
If I can grab a moment, I may play along.
You’ve checked off so much! 🙂 I am truly envious of the adventures you have had 🙂
