Bucket List/ Life Guide

Once while on a flight (after I finished my book and the airline magazine) and still had time left to waste I made myself a bucket list/ life guide of sorts. I reviewed it last night to see how I was doing and I have to admit I have not made it much of a priority. I intend to change that.

Hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon
Finish the climb to the top of Camelback Mountain

See Mt. Everest (notice that does NOT say climb- I'm a realist and I like living!)

Stand in a Sequoia tree

Eat a potato in Idaho (yes, that is really on my list- don't judge)

Visit Glacier National Park

Run a mini-marathon (perhaps we modify this to a 5k or a "walk" a mini?!)

Swim with sharks (in a cage!)

Learn to swim properly (I'm working on it!)

Drive a racecar around a track- FAST

Cruise around the world (slated for 2017)

Live in a foreign country for 1 year

Read the entire Bible

Visit Africa

See a moose in the wild- preferably while vacationing in Maine- I love Maine (I'll work on this in September when I'm in Maine)

Learn a second language

Publish an article in a reputable tax journal (what? I'm a tax nerd.)

Pass the CPA exam (stop pressuring me!)

Rid the globe of cinnamon (I mean it.)

Write a novel

Adopt a shelter dog

Attend a round of the Masters

Meet Tim Tebow (August 10, 2012 at the preseaon game this is my goal)

Take Jim Nantz's job- preferably in late March thru April

Never walk by a homeless person without at least offer a smile, kind word and hopefully some cash without judgement about whether or not they'll use the cash appropriately (I do this!!)

Continue blogging (here I am!)

Tell Jackson every single day he's the love of my life and that I'm his biggest fan

Do yoga 2 times a week

Always make time to throw the ball to MacKenzie (She's relentless.)

Decrease my road rage (DONE!)

Learn to love people with opinions that differ from mine (I'm REALLY improving here!)
Be an encourager not a discourager

Have a forever young mentality (ALWAYS!)

Always use every single vacation day- (ALWAYS!)

Buy Jackson a sailboat

Visit each of the 50 states (6 more! 6 more!)

Live in NYC

Win the lottery and give the lion's share away (I play, I play, I don't win. Ever.)

Be willing to smile- no matter what
