Ok. So I have a substantial list of things I want to do before I die. I have this tendency to lose things. The first page of my written "bucket list" in my tiny journal finally came unattached. There is one thing I never want to lose; my dreams. So I am putting it here for safe keeping and so I can keep track of my progress. Share your bucket list items with me!
Got any suggestions? (or even know something I did that I need to add to done, but didn't think of?)
* I think you'll get the drift, but the bolded items are yet to be completed. The rest are done, done, DONE*
