My Bucket List

A week ago or so, my Cousin Brian (who I wholeheartedly believe is Awesome) wrote a blog about The Bucket List, a movie staring Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman.The story follows two terminally ill men (Nicholson and Freeman) on a road trip with a wish list of things to do before they die.

In Brian's post he challenged his readers to take a minute to think about our own "Bucket List". What would you do - REALLY DO - if you knew this was your last moments on earth - where would you go..what would matter to you most.

So, like Brian, I wrote a few down...(no specific order)

1. Learn to Swim
2. Travel to Africa
3. Open a Coffee Shop and serve the Best Cookies & Coffee in Philly
4. Host a Fabulous Party.. I mean Like WHOA!!!
5. Inspire someone
6. Learn to play the Piano
7. Let my family & friends (even the ones I cussed out and cut off), know how much I really do love them
8. Buy my dad a new home
9. Skydive
10. Bungee Jump (This one may actually cause my bucket to get kicked...lol)

Yeah, I know that its not that many, but I am a simple person. While there are some many more things I'd like to accomplish in my life, these 9 things are things that are in some sorts out reach...

So in the words of my Fantastic Cousin Brian, take a minute to think about your own "Bucket List". What would you do - REALLY DO - if you knew this was your last moments on earth - where would you go..what would matter to you most.

I'll ponder this some more and try to post later. I'm a pretty simple person also...

I feel like you are one of those people that can do just about anything you set your mind on. You are very inspirational! Go Trish!!!
