Bucket List


"Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans."
John Lennon

Everyone needs a bucket list.... I have officially decided to start mine. I always find myself dreaming of adventure, and I've decided that it's about time I get up and start finding it! I can accomplish anything I want to if I have the right determination. Fear has too strong a hold on me! But maybe...just maybe...if I write down some of these dreams, they may just come true!

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."
Helen Keller

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a Ride!"
