Hi Mama,

I really enjoyed the article on the little girl's bucket list. But you are far from being ready to write one yourself. The Bucket List has been around a long time. It comes from the expression "things to do before I kick the bucket". But most people don't "kick the bucket" until they are old. The movie "The Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman was wonderful. My point is that kids should be calling these lists just "To Do" lists, and save the "Bucket List" for older folks like me (66). It's a great idea for anyone to make a list of things they'd like to do during their life. Putting your goals on paper is the first step to manifesting them. I didn't write my Bucket List until I was 60. I've only checked off one of them so far. I ran/walked a 5K sponsored by our local YMCA (came in 2nd in my class, but last overall). The other things on my list, which I expect to add to over the years to come, are: go skydiving, take a cruise, zipline NA & SA, maintain the full Lotus posture (yoga), memorize all the U.S. Presidents in chronological order, go tubing....

The list is a reminder to enjoy life and suck as much fun, satisfaction and rewarding experience out of it as you can.

"Grams"

1. Learn to play an instrument.
2. Visit as many places as possible on my (ever-growing) want-to-visit list.
3. Be in bikini-shape again.
4. Go back to school. I would be a "professional student," if I could afford it.
5. Rock my future grandchildren and great-grandchildren to sleep. In their own houses.
5 a. Keep a lifelong good relationship with my daughters.
5b. Keep a good relationship with my future sons-in-law.
5c. Keep a good relationship with my future grandkids.
5d. Be healthy enough to travel to my grandkids' houses, wherever they may be.
6. Take a tourist space flight. Sub-orbital will do. ($$$!!!)
7. Take a month-long vacation.
8. Get to know all of the staff at all of my kids' schools (well, through high school, anyway!)
9. Be at least first-name familiar with as much staff as possible at my local grocery store.

Go to Europe where I can practice my French and Spanish.

I love roller coasters so would like to go to a different theme park every year. (Last year we did two-Cedar Point (which rocks!) and King's Island-both in Ohio.
Seeing the whales in Puerto Vallarta was a great experience.
Going down the Colorado River on a raft.
Another skydive adventure-maybe solo this time-eeekkkkssss..
Win the lottery-although you generally have to play to win :(
Play in the WSOP-the $10,000 one and do well-making the money at least
