Bucket List?

Bucket List? What is a bucket list? I’ve read several theories about why it’s called a bucket list. Only one of those doesn’t involve death - that one is as a kid kicking a ball into a bucket and if you get it in you’d celebrate. So to me, that means that putting things in the bucket is a good thing. So grab the parts you want out of life, things you want to see, do, and have and put them in a bucket that keeps growing as you go through life.

Your bucket list shouldn't have limits—after all, we're constantly thinking, with some estimates suggesting 60-80,000 thoughts a day. How many of those are about the things you want to add to your bucket list? While many of our daily thoughts revolve around routine tasks like "pick up milk," it's essential to have dreams and goals that bring excitement and fulfillment to our lives.

Creating a bucket list isn't just about grand adventures like climbing Everest or skydiving. It can be as simple as driving a specific car, seeing a particular play, or visiting a national park. Your list can encompass lifetime goals, things to see before you die, or even just a summer bucket list or ideas for a week-long vacation.

This section of our journey is dedicated to the places and experiences that Tracey and I have on our bucket list. We hope our adventures inspire you to think about what you want to do, see, and experience. Bucket lists are about creating memories and life experiences that become a part of who we are. They are the things we carry with us, the stories we tell, and the dreams we pursue.

You might be wondering why you should care about someone else's bucket list. We hope to spark ideas for your own list and inspire you to chase your dreams, big or small. Maybe you'll see something and think, "Oh wow, that would be cool."

So, what's on your bucket list? Leave us a comment and join us on this journey to fill a bucket list as big as you want.
