It seems pretty commonplace these days to have a bucket list. Lifed actually made a pretty decent list of all the worldly adventures you could do. Between that and the 101 in 1001 started on Design Darling, I was inspired to actually put mine up on my blog as a way to make it more concrete and make myself more accountable. My list includes some short-term goals, some long-term ones, and some that are ongoing. Some I've never done, some I've already done and want to do again, and unfortunately, some I may never do. I will be adding new ones as they pop up, as life only moves forward when you do.
I plan on crossing off the things on this list as much as possible. As I do so I'm going to put $10 in a special savings account to put towards reaching some of the other goals. So join me on this bucket list adventure and let me know of things I should add!
