 So…what’s the one thing you’ve always wanted to do...but have never done?
You know…those things we have always said “Someday, I am going go there or do that!”
That thing that want to see or do or experience…before you die!
What’s on your bucket list?

Points2Ponder  What’s on your List? What places or adventures are you saving for—that time in your life—and, ask yourself? Why am I waiting until then?
My bucket list includes the things I want to do before...you know—
--I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska… just to see Anchorage… I had a chance to go..but passed it up.
--I’ve always wanted to go to Australia... to see the Symphony Hall myself—I just love the look of that building—I’ve been saving my Delta frequent flier miles my whole life, just for the day when… my Bella and I go to Australia, and I get to see that building… did I mention that I have not flown since 9/11…no I really haven’t—haven’t needed to, and… by choice, we only vacation to places I can drive to…Key West, Savannah, St. Augustine, Treasure Island… you get the picture… and, I haven’t even taken her to Tallahassee, Panama City or Pensacola yet!
--I’ve always wanted to go back to Paris—one of my Top 10 moments in my life was… the weekend I spent in Paris, alone, on a business trip. Always wished I was there with my Bella!
--I’ve always wanted to see Seattle—I’ve been as far as San Francisco and loved it…but, never made it back to Seattle. I love the rain…but I’ve been told 300 days of rain…something else!
--I’ve always wanted to do standup comedy—just one night—just to get booed or laughed off the stage… I worked up a 15 minute routine once, told my friends I was doing it—but didn’t.
--I’ve always wanted to go to Greece—my favorite color is cobalt blue, with bright white—that is prevalent in Greece; plus, there’s a movie I once saw that featured Greece in summer!
--I’ve always wanted to go on a balloon ride—thought it would be fun—til I had the offer from my Aunt, as a present… and I chose to not go—just didn’t want to go up anymore.
--I’ve always wanted to sky dive—I planned to do it for my 30th birthday, but my niece Nikki was killed right before, and I didn’t do it, out of respect for her. Never tried it again.
--I’ve always wanted to write a book—and now, as of this week—my 2nd book AFTERMATH will be available for purchase online any way, anywhere! Kindle, Nook, Amazon, Google!
--I’ve always wanted to perform my children’s weddings—my son honored me by asking me to perform his wedding in 2009, and I just performed my godson’s wedding in 2013.

That’s just 10 of my Bucket List—as you can see…I’ve done some of them—and a lot of them—I keep waiting to do—or I’ve decided maybe… I don’t want to do it anymore.
You get to revise it—it’s your List!
So…what’s on your list?
When are you going to start marking off some of the items?
Why do you wait until THEN…whenever THEN is???
Why not do some of those things—NOW?
We always wait…until we have time, until we have money, until we have opportunity!
Sometimes… we just wait too long…
And we are startled when
We hear a doctor say “Nothing we can do for you… you have 6 months to live, maybe 12… why not take that cruise you’ve always wanted to take?
Don’t let a doctor be the reason you start marking off your list—or the reason you never got to it!
Life is to be experienced—so—get out there—start working on your LIST NOW!!

 I’m Just… Reflecting on -- Life!
