Beginning of the end?


Wow!  Today is the beginning of the end…  Or so they say…  Whoever ‘they’ are… Oh, wait, they are the MAYANS.  Okay, now that we have that settled – what are you going to do?  There’s only 365 days left!!!! 

Now seriously, do I believe that the Mayans were right?  NOPE – I believe in the GOOD BOOK

Matthew 24:35-36  Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

That was my soapbox for the day – that said, I do believe that it is an interesting way to remind ourselves to be reminded (and I do feel that we will be reminded a LOT!) that we don’t know how long we have left, what are you doing?  You should be Bucket List Living NOW!

Jump on in, the water is fine!

Bucket List work today – Oh, MY!  You aren’t going to believe this!  I found the oldest Dr Pepper bottler in world!  I didn’t even know there was such a place!  Yep, of course it had to be added to my list…  I have been a fan of Dr. Pepper since I was a teenager!  And even made a comedy character named Dr. Pepper!  I LOVE Dr. Pepper!  And with a handy dandy Groupon (http://www.groupon.com) I will be visiting Dublin Dr. Pepper Bottling Company (http://www.dublindrpepper.com/) on an upcoming mini after-Christmas vacay with my 2 favorite men – Dean and Christian-shhh - it's a Christmas surprise for them! 

 
Side note – This wasn’t on my original list…  However I would like to say, don’t feel like you have to stick to 1 list.  The more you learn, research and experience life your eyes will be opened to new opportunities.  Add it to your list!  Hey, a bucket list isn’t a onetime thing!   Really, that is what started this idea of Bucket List Living NOW!  My gf Susan had a daughter that she had given up for adoption.  Susan and I have been friends for 7 years, most of the time I have known that.  Anyway, when she shared it, I felt like I was supposed to help her find her daughter.  Long story short – this summer I did!  More on that story later…. 

After that happened I wondered…  Hmmm…  That was on my bucket list.  As were some of the other items too…  What happens if I run out?  Not gonna happen…  I don’t live in a box where I am made to pursue only the things on my list TODAY…  Nope, I make my own rules…  The list is a starting point, my imagination has no end!  Just sayin! ;)

Why -Bucket List Living NOW?

This is the short answer -

Several years ago my sister and I went sky diving. A day later I visited my FIL who was fighting cancer at the time and I told him what I had just done, his reply - "I always wanted to do that and now I never will get to." Why do we wait until the end of our lives to start living our dreams? And doing the things we want to do? I'm done waiting on something else to happen before I choose ME - I'm bucket list living NOW!



Please join my adventure! If you wait, you WON'T!
