The Bucket List is a great film. I laughed and I cried and I agreed with the entire premise. I, too, have a "bucket list", a list of things to do before I kick the bucket. I think maybe subconsciously we all do. How many times have you said, "One day I'll do..." or "I'd like to try that someday..."?
I've actually been able to cross a few things off my list, and my hope is to keep adding and crossing things off my list until my time finally comes. I believe if I live my life like that then I can honestly say that I've lived my life. What's the point in making plans if you'll never follow through with them? And what's the point in dreaming if you don't get to fulfil your dreams?

1.Tour Italy

It's a long list, and then again it could be longer. Some things will be easier than others to achieve, and still others will simply have to wait as I can't rush them :) Maybe your list will be longer..or maybe it'll be shorter. If you don't think you have one, sit down and really think about it. I'm willing to bet you have at least 1 or 2 things for your list :)
SIS!!!! This is a FABULOUS list! I'll get a tattoo with you! That way you can cross another thing of the list! We'll have to make it a date soon as we both have enough time and a little extra cash to blow on ourselves! love you!
