Years ago on my way to work I used to pass a parked Karmann Ghia. So I made up a little song I would sing each time I passed it. "Good morning Karmann Ghia, it's really nice to see ya." And now once again, on my way to work there is a lime green Karmann Ghia that I pass. And yes, of course I still sing when I see it. This got me thinking that I would like to drive and maybe even own a Karmann Ghia. So I've added it to my bucket list. Two other items currently on my list: see the Northern Lights in person, have a ride along in a Nascar race car (preferably with Dale Earnhardt Jr.).
In the summer of 2012 I crossed off a bucket list item when I attended a night race at Daytona International Speedway. Though I had been to day time Nascar races, I hadn't ever been to a night race. Going to that race changed the direction of my life. It was from that trip that I ultimately decided I wanted to make the move south.
Now, I'm not saying that I think every item on a bucket list necessarily results in big life changes. Sometimes a bucket list item leaves you feeling like why did I even bother doing that. However in order for it to be on your list there is some kind of draw to it. And even if it isn't life altering, just by checking it off the list you have propelled yourself forward. It's kind of the same as my blog about the concept of dreaming the dream vs. living the dream. Dreaming it is putting it on your list. Living it is actually doing it and checking it off, whether it's a good or bad experience.
So, what's on your bucket list?
Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
