Got a bucket list this year?
Making goals and achieving them can be extremely rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it’s called a bucket list or not doesn’t really matter. We all have dreams and desires which we strive to reach. From the smallest moments to the once-in-a-lifetime experiences, most people try to live a life that’s full to overflowing.
For me there is only one thing on my list this year.
So instead of wracking my brain trying to come up with experiences that would fill my life with moments to treasure, I asked my boys about things they’d love to do.
Their top 10 list consists of:
- Go to a museum (again).
- Locate and visit playgrounds they’ve never been to before.
- Attend an AFL football game.
- Swim in winter.
- Watch a 3D movie.
- Hold a snake.
- Go camping (not in the backyard).
- Attend a basketball clinic.
- Go on a family holiday that involves flying on a plane for the first time.
- See Taronga or Melbourne Zoo (a first for the whole family).
The kids needed some prompting with ideas but these are largely their own suggestions. They are yet to expand their view of the world and understand what it has to offer. We’re looking forward to enjoying these activities together as a family. My reward will come from sharing these experiences with them.
We never labelled this list, hence avoiding the need to explain what a bucket list is all about.
We will endeavour to complete all of these before the end of this year.
Love is in the bag bucket.
