Bucket List - 40 by 40
So I took a bit of a break from the blog…well,
no more! I'm going to get back to posting! I am hoping to enhance my
photography skills and would like to post some of my work here to share as well
as document our busy (but mostly boring) lives!
I saw the idea of creating a bucket list with a specific deadline
a while back. I’ve played with the idea for a while and since April is my
“birthday month,” I figured I’d create my own 40 x 40 list! 40 things I'd like
to accomplish by the time I turn 40. That gives me 6 years to check everything
off my list! With your help, my family and friends, I think I can do it!
Here is my list of 40 Things To Do Before I Turn 40…. but really
just live. Live for today, forgive yesterday, and be grateful for tomorrow.
