During the quarantine around the world, I have had so many moments of saying "One day" and "Eventually" that I feel I could fill an entire book. Sometimes I feel as though I'm unlikely to ever accomplish even a fraction of them. However, the dreamer in me has started my own version of an Adventure Book.
I have made a list of all the places I want to go and see, things I want to do! For now, they are just dreams. And there are days when I think to myself, Just like many dreams before - these will go nowhere. But like Ellie, I have also started adding the things we DO accomplish. They aren't daring adventures. They aren't exotic vacations, but these little moments that are so amazing, or just plain funny - I capture them. I'll keep adding. I'll keep dreaming. I won't hold my breath - but hey, who knows, right?? So below, is my Bucket List. Leave me a comment about what you would add or something in common!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool idea! I love the movie Up haha. You've inspired me to do the same!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I will be looking forward to your post one day :)
DeleteThat is a good list.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. The list is simple and I find that really thoughtful. I mean, why make a complicated list? A goal is still a goal no matter how simple.
ReplyDeleteI feel more accomplished with such a simple list :)
DeleteVisiting Italy and going to the opera has to be on everyone's bucket list. Although I learnt today that opera tickets are ridiculously expensive, I'm definitely going to steal some activities off your list. I hope you get the opportunity to live them all
ReplyDeleteOh the opera is fantastic! I saw Phantom of the Opera in my teen years and LOVED it!
DeleteSo you haven't been to New York yet? If you can only visit five countries in your life, Israel should be one of them!
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't. I wish I had. And Lord willing, Israel will be!
