Inspiration. Where does it come from? A thought, a bright idea, a brain bleep, seeing something through different eyes, pairing creative combinations, flashes…
My Bucket List
Build one more house and live in it
Travel to places far far away, but always come back home
Paint like Picasso
Sing like Eva Cassidy
Play with my grandchildren everyday because they live nearby
Photograph like no other
Lose some pounds, lots of them, forever
Chase that skittle rainbow to see what is really at the end
Catch a BIG fish, a really BIG fish
Catch a BIG fish, a really BIG fish
Sail on some calm open waters
Hop some tropical islands
Hop some tropical islands
Witness the miracle of peace in this world
Be debt free (almost there!)
Live the month of October on the North Carolina shore
Go river rafting on a not so raging river
Dig for clams
Dig for clams
What I’m likin’ today~

What's in your bucket?
What's in your bucket?
One thing I will never understand: Why do they like to use that awful sounding F word in movies? Don’t they know it would still be a great movie without it?
i like your bucket...and will it help if i do think you're a photographer like "no other"? your work is uniquely you and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, now you have me thinking! It may take a while, lol. The older I get the more I look around and wonder why I wasn't more adventurous in my younger years and the more determined I am to be more so now! The first thing I'm going to do is sit down with paper and pencil tonight and really thik abput this. Thanks Cora:>)
ReplyDeleteOMG Cora, I am so with you on that.. the F word is wayyyyyyyy to common these days.. I am grateful to know that most of the people we are around do not talk like that, and if one slips out,, they look at me and say sorry..
ReplyDeleteBut we dont have that same pleasure when watching a movie..i hate it..
My bucket list:
to simplify my life
to not feel rushed
to savor every smile on my granddaughter smile.
to have a clean house without having to clean it..lol
Thanks..love the post..
what a beautiful list!!
ReplyDeletemay i sail with you someday? : )
i recently crossed off photographing a ferris wheel. and it felt so good.
btw* you paint my world like picasso, every day.
xo
Cora, what a beautiful list, there are a few words that just make me cringe....that F word is one of them...i need to redo my bucket list, good idea for a post. love the music here too. hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful list! Good thought-provoking topic...sometimes I let the kids become all-consuming.

ReplyDelete7 years ago..surviving deaths door..I mentally made a list..a list of what I needed to get accomplished..it almost made me go crazy...everything got in the way..people...finances..more health problems..I would ask why...why can't I do these things..why did I survive if not to do these things.
ReplyDeleteMy Dr. picked up on my unrest..my frustration..He told me..he watched my family with me when I was dying...he watched the loved that flowed..the prayers by many..he told me..I don't have to accomplish anything..I already had....a family ..a husband who adored me..my faith..2 grandchildren at the time..he said what and who I was..was so moving at my bedside..not many families had what we had..he was convinced the God was there in that room..he said that was my bucket list..it was my life!!!
So I do try to enjoy the little things....now 9 going on 10 grandchildren ..scattered to the winds..these are my bucket list..my future..my past..my now.
Hugs..Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
I loved reading through your bucket...
ReplyDeleteyou have made me stop and think about what's in mine...
I love your list. You are such a poet,photographer, and encourager. I love ya, and we have never even met. Maybe I should put that on my bucket list! :)
ReplyDeleteCora I love your bucket list. It inspired me to think that I should have one now that I am entering the winter of my life. My only regret is my husband isn't here to help me fulfill so many of them..
ReplyDeleteI can't understand the F word in the movies either. My grandson many years ago said the word and I said do you know what it means and he said "yes" and I said "does what your talking about envolve it ?" He said no and I said then don't ever use it again as just a word to say. The movies should take a clue also.
I always love reading your lists! They give me some great ideas. Hope you have a terrific weekend Cora!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration you are to us....You have challenged me this morning and I am thankful....I have been thinking about my bucket list for some time but I think it's imnportant to write it down so you can see it.....
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful and I will definitely will be back to visit again....
Hi there...I should plan better I think, after reading your list...thanks for your visit, missed you! :D
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post Mama Cora! I am linking it up!!!
ReplyDeleteAwe... TOTALLY adoring your bucket list. I may have to think about writing one of those. I keep it tucked in my heart right now.
ReplyDeleteBecause i live on the West Coast, always have, some of these things you list, I've done..
ReplyDeleteLots of calm sailing, dug for clams, and I've caught some purty big fish..one of 'em was a Derby winner..the prize? A case of outboard motor oil, and me without a boat!
I enjoyed your bucket list. What's really gonna be fun for you is when those grandchildren nearby will be the center of your photography! You will go crazy taking tons of pictures of them because they will be the cutest things ever! =]
