My Bucket List

On Sunday, I wrote that seeing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in person was on my bucket list. After thinking about it, I have never written my bucket list down in one place. My list was spread over small scraps of papers, notebooks, and on the blog. However, never in one place.

This is one of those posts for me. A post for me to come back to for inspiration and guidance. Some of the items on the list are places to visit, activities to do, and things I want to learn.

The list is not set in stone. Its a living document that will change over time. As time progress, items will be crossed off the list, others will be removed and new items will be added.  Bucket lists are so important in this points game. There is no sense earning points; if you aren't going to spend them. And what better way to spend them than to accomplish your goals.
