I recently saw the movie,
The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman and have been thinking about it ever since. Truly, I have been reflecting more on the idea of a bucket list than this enjoyable movie. The lead characters, each terminally ill, purposely set out to live their bucket list, a wish list of things to do before dying. Of course, I have had to ask myself about what my bucket list might include. To date, I have not been too creative, but have started this list:
- see the Grand Canyon,
- be a co-creator of a well-loved yard,
- observe Sabbath faithfully,
- have a loving, caring relationship with my grandchildren.
What might you include on your bucket list?
See the Grand Canyon from a hang glider
