Bucket List

 I have done some venturing lately, but I don't care to talk about it on this blog because it has to do with adoption.  To be honest, I think I want to be done with adoption talk on this blog for now.  I've talked about it plenty on another blog. Maybe one day I'll come back to it, but honestly, I've been caught up in adoption for so long that I'm done with the mean people out there, and I know where I stand, and my friends know where I stand; and personally, some random stranger doesn't need to care about my position.   Okay, rant/explanation over.

Now, the real reason for this post.  I've decided that I need motivation to venture out.  I need goals.  I need goals that lead me to really learn how to LIVE life.  So, I think I need a bucket list.  I used to think that they were dumb, that a bucket list was just one long disappointment list.  However, if there's one thing I'm learning, it's that if I want to do something adventurous, I need to write it down - admit that I want to do it.  So, on the side of my blog, I'm going to start a running bucket list.  As I get ideas and think about things I would love to do one day, I'll add them on my list.  I hope to make these goals attainable, and I really hope that as I cross them off, I will take pictures and make blog posts out of them.  I want these goals to be things that I can do without them being something for which I have to depend upon somebody (i.e., adoption and winning the lottery will not be on that bucket list).

So, here's to gaining focus!

Oh, and I'm curious, what's on your bucket list?
