Apparently this is a UK Bucket List and it seems I'm doing quite well. But the thing is, I still don't get the point.
Why do I want to write a list of things to do before I kick the bucket? And, do I really think that the things I could write down will ever be things I'd look back on with regret if I failed to tick them off?
Well no, but then again, yes. But in a very different way. The list would be less about things and places and more about people and love.
Don't get me wrong, I really want to go to New Zealand; but since becoming ill it's not because of the place any more but more that I'd love to be with Rachel and experience her joy of a trip.
Mind you, it might be cool to be on the TV.
I went through the same bucket list - with less ticks than you. I felt it was amusing, but not anything more. I try not to regret the things that I will never be able to do now - like go to New Zealand. Maybe I'm lucky that I can remember the things that I did do, like Downhill Skiing, and travelling overland to India. But you are right, the important things are the people and the love.
ReplyDeleteabsolutel Roland, thanks for your comment
DeleteIf you need to do a bucket list that means your life is/was pretty lame :( and you need other's attention/envy/approval to be happy.
ReplyDeleteBe yourself, leave a full life not a busy one and you don't need a bucket list :)
But perhaps have a read of one every now and again and see if it sparks any ideas :)
