If Today was Your Last Day
Putting the final touches to our trip to Italy – leaving in ONE WEEK! And a song comes on Pandora. I’ve heard it MANY times since I have the cd… And I realize that it is totally appropriate for planning and Bucket List Living. My first inclination was to cancel the trip to Italy since Dad is already home for good. Then I had an unexpected car expense… Plus DS started college this week, additional expense – not to mention we are remodeling his room – CHA-CHING! We can always find a reason to put things off. This song is great reminder of why we shouldn’t.. Goes back to my mantra - If you wait, you WON'T!!!!
"If Today Was Your Last Day" sang by Nickleback written by Chad Kroeger
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
Congrats Chad on your engagement to Avril Lavigne! I know you are LIVING in the moment right now! And I need to get back to Bucket List Living NOW!

Back to School- Again!
It’s that time again – Back to SCHOOL time!
20 years ago I graduated from high school, we are planning our 20 year reunion… My son is starting at a local community college today… Brings Bucket List Living back to the forefront of life – time flies! And we leave for Italy in 9 days – final prep in progress! Lol!
Enjoy my trip down memory lane – Grease 2 style…. I’ve heard there are two types of people in the world – people who like Grease 2 and people who don’t… I’m with Drew Barrymore – I LIKE IT!

Small town USA, Justin Moore from Poyen Arkansas
Justin Moore, Arkansas native, from the small town of Poyen; just up the road a piece from my hometown. We pass through the area a few times a year as we travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Each time we mention Justin. Not knowing him personally we still relate to him, seeing the familiar surroundings, knowing what it is like to grow up in such a rural area. Reading his bio online I see that he had a firm foundation, his family and his community. When he got to Nashville he didn’t wait on the people to call on him, he already had a manager. He left nothing to chance. Why? He wanted to LIVE his dream.
Looking over my bucket list and becoming more introspective on my life I’m reminded, I’m in charge of my future. It is mine to make or break. Thanks for the reminder Justin. We are still rooting for you! Keep on keeping on…. And thanks for not forgetting where you came from, for those of you who don't know, this video captures glimpses of Poyen, hometown pride! Until we meet, I’m gonna be BUCKET LIST LIVING! God Bless!
