Uniquely Yours Craft Journal

Dear Fellow Journalers,

If you haven’t heard of “The Bucket List” it’s a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill, and life experiences you want to experience before you die. It’s way different from a New Year’s Resolution.

Do you spend your days caught up in a flurry of activity? Do you live your days with a “it is what it is” attitude? If you’re retired, do you ever feel that life is passing you by? Do you have any goals at all??

Now, before you start getting depressed or thinking that creating a bucket list is to propel you into a race against the hands of death, think about this…

You only have this moment of time. Are you living in the moment as fully as possible?

So, now that I?’ve piqued your interest, how do you create a bucket list? Think of you past and future and ask yourself some questions:

• What would you do if you had unlimited time, money and resources?
• What have you always wanted to do but not done yet?
• What are your goals and dreams?
• Where do you want to go?
• Are there any skills or activities you wish you knew?
• Are there any countries you wish you could go to? ( why not get a passport this year, take a language course, research your country of choice)
• Do you feel stuck in your current profession? (This year why not take a course in your dream job?)
• Achieve your weight goal.( take a Waist Watcher Program or join a gym)
• Take up a new sport.
• Learn a new strategy game.
• Let someone know how much they mean to you.
• Be a mentor to someone.

These ideas are practical ones. Next week we’ll explore the other ideas for a bucket list.
