I was thinking the other day about how I’d really like to make my very own “bucket list.” It’s a catchy title for a list of lifetime goals, don’t you think? Sounds much more appealing than “things to do before I die.” Ha.

A list like this would always be evolving as you thought of new things, but here are some of the items I decided absolutely have to be on the list…

• See a sunset in every time zone.
• Become fluent in French, German & Spanish.
• Memorize the entire New Testament (and if I accomplish that and am still kicking, the Old Testament too).
• Go sky diving.
• Learn to play golf.
• Write a book that becomes a New York Times bestseller.
• Learn to ride a motorcycle.
• Run a marathon.
• Own a music store.
• Record an album of my own songs.
• Take a trip to Guatemala to visit my “little girl” Marta.
• Build a collection of 1000 books.
• Visit the capitol cities of every state in the US.
• Run for some form of political office.
• Spend a winter on the slopes in Switzerland.
• Test drive a Maserati GranTurismo S. Talk about a sexy car.
• I should probably learn how to drive a manual too.
• Design and sew a wedding gown for someone.

That’s a start. For now. I’m always thinking of new things I want to do though. What would be on your list?
