I went to see the movie “Bucket List” months ago with a very special person in my life and it got me thinking about making my own list. As I am soon to embark on my 5th decade, ( turning 50 Jan. 19th, PS sent gifts, wink) that movie got me thinking about all the things I want to do and see and feel and breath. That movie along with the book “1000 things to see before you die” sort of hit home. At 50, if there are 1000 things left to see and assuming I will live another 25 year, I will have to set out on my journey and visit 40 places per year. Or experience a new wonder every 3.3 times per month. I might run out of time, but please never ever let me run out of heart!
So what is on my bucket list? What is on your bucket list? Let the journey begin. Please email me you list. I’d love to post it here on my blog. Let us be an inspiration to each other. Life if short and as we get older, life flys by faster and faster.
So let me start with a short list:
- Visit Costa Rica and photograph the rain forests
- Rent an RV and travel across the back roads of America, stopping at little holes in the walls and getting to know the real people and making a connection.
- Walk along a deserted beach in winter with the one I love, holding hands and smelling the salt spray and hearing the sand between our toes.
- Feel that rush of excitement I felt so long ago on Snowmass at the end of the ski day, on the edge of disaster, all alone, flying down the mountain.
- Own a mountain cabin and wake up every morning to the smell of clean air and a warm cup of coffee all the while watching the sun come up and in the evening watch the sun go down
- Photograph people from my heart, people in need, tell their story, capture their truths and make a difference in this world
I will continue to add to my bucket list and hope you will too. Please do send an email and let me know what’s on YOUR list.
So here’s to you! Here’s to all of us. And here’s to living the best life we can ever hope to live.
LOVE TO ALL,
Becki
