What's in Your Bucket?

Inspiration. Where does it come from? A thought, a bright idea, a brain bleep, seeing something through different eyes, pairing creative combinations, flashes…

How do we get motivated to go with that inspiration? Whether it is writing, creating art, sewing, painting, taking a chance, crafting, exploring, cooking…what gets those juices flowing in your veins? At times it seems we run into brick walls or dead end streets and things just stop. When do we get off the well traveled track and strike out on our own. Go. Chase a rainbow. Take that chance. Run with scissors… Or do we just stay in that comfortable zone of safety that keeps us in the norm of things. Norm. Normal. What the heck is normal? There are things that I want to do. Roads I want to travel that are not familiar to me. I want to jump out the box like Jack. Dance like Cinderella.  Take chances. Dare. Accomplish a bucket list.

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

Sail on some calm open waters

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

What I’m likin’ today~

Sappy movies

Porches

Clean

A planned trip

Swings

Pretty papers

Glue sticks

Messages

A new day

My incomplete b-list

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?
