My Bucket List ... A Reach for the Impossible

My Bucket List!! Don't you think it's time to write yours and start marking things off? It's an ever changing list and it inspires me to reach for the impossible!

I write a blog called MomStew. I write on whatever topic floats my boat ... I review movies, recipes, restaurants, talk about my life in general and then there is always my Pet Peeves Monday, we all have them, I just blog about them.

For a long time now after watching the movie The Bucket List, I’ve wanted to write up my own bucket list. Since it’s the Christmas season, it kind of put me in the mood to reflect on these things and actually just do it (or at least start to)! 

Some of the things on my bucket list I've already accomplished I am happy to say. And I hope to complete most, if not all of them one day before I am 6 feet under (cough, cough). I guess typing out my bucket list has inspired me to start checking things off, or in this case bold and italicize. I know my list will change as I get older … things will be added and removed. But I know one day it will be neat for my kids to look back on my list to see what I was able to accomplish and hopefully they will write out their own lists.
