Bucket List

A fella I follow on Twitter posted the above link.  I wanted to reply in kind with an article.

I’ll call this a bucket list, but loosely.  I don’t intend on kicking the bucket for a long time, so this is more of a “Nudge the bucket list”.  Granted, his point is valid, we have little time on this planet.

Here goes.  It’s fairly mundane, but it is a list of what I thought about first, and not filtered into some kind of a pander to people’s likes thing.  It’s simply me and my mind.

1. Fly an airplane.
2. Dive over 100 feet under the ocean, preferably around a reef.
3. Finish one of my numerous books, all of which I have started.
4. Publish an article that saves a life (hard to quantify).
5. Bring about change on a large scale, preferably regarding education and how damaged the system is.
6. Travel in space.
7. Find a gemstone in the planet, and make it into a family heirloom to pass to my son.
8. Write a children‘s book.
9. Visit the previous site of the Berlin Wall.
10. Create a piece of art, a painting, of a dragon, that is beautiful.

I don’t think I’ll be able to do any of these things in the next year, but maybe.
