Bucket List?

I just want to get up in the morning and not see my name in the obituaries and be able to do that for at least 50 more years.
 
Putt to the West Coast is one of e'm. Planning on it this June. Travel lite and fast. 4800 miles of fun!:s
 
Here are a few things ticked (randomly) off my bucket list, but many more I hadn't even dared to think I would achieve! My wife and I have been very fortunate, but we have also worked pretty hard over many long years to fed our passion for travel.

We don't intend to Steve. While we're still capable, health wise, that is, we head off overseas roughly every 18 months or so.

Thankyou horizonchaser. I think enjoyment in life is different activities and goals for every person. At present, my 2 year old grandson gives me more joy than any travelling overseas could ever give me. Like most people, I'll bet your life is too busy to be a boring life! Plus, like I've always said, "health is wealth"!!

Hmmm, well maybe get to a point where when I get up in the morning my " list " isn't already full.

But then it's good just to get up, LOL. Course I can honestly say my bucket list has been finished for sometime. If I had to die tonight at midnight I have no complaints. I do have some regrets where I wish I had done better than what I did. Especially in what I owe to the one who paid the price for my sins.

But all in all I'll take what comes in my bucket, I guess everybody gets a bucket that is best for them for the time they have here.

I'm right there with you, on all counts. While I don't feel a need to put anything in the bucket, there are several things I can think of, and probably countless things that haven't occured to me, that I would not turn down if provision for them could be found. My girl, my scooter, health for us both, good friends, open roads, stories to tell, good food and drink, and peace with my Maker...therewith, I am content.

Enjoy,
Rich P
