I'm calling mine A Bucket List

I know some people who have done this under a different title and while reading their lists, of course I couldn't help but make my own. It kinda falls a little bit into my self-evaluation mode, I love the bucket analogy, and I think lists are the cats pajamas. So, for the next few posts, I'll be listing the things I want to have in my bucket when I go to meet my maker. I'll give them to you in installments of 25 at a time and they are in no particular order. I hope you too, feel inspired to create your own list and if you'd like to share your list - I would love to read your 100 Things to Do Before You Go.
