On January 1, 2011 I decided to start crossing off things I wanted to do. The first of the year was a cold and rainy morning. It's the first time in a very long time that I woke up before 7:00 am to get ready. Yes I know that's sad. My good friend Virginia came to pick me up and we drove to the Bethel Island Frozen Bun Run at the Rusty Porthole. It was a blast; I was freezing but, having a great time. Originally just going to witness it was on the list, but I have added participating in the Frozen Bun Run Jan. 1, 2012 to my bucket list. It was also the first time I had a Bloody Mary ...
This week I have been looking through my Bucket List; trying to decide what to keep and what to toss, plus what to add. I thought: Why am I just writing this down and not really trying to do much about it? Well it's time to DO SOMETHING!
Project Bucket List is simple. I WILL complete at least 12 items from my list. One each month & attempt to do two, and add to the list as I check it off. I am looking for people who would like to match up Items on the list and do them together. The more the merrier! I am also trying to get my children to make their own Bucket Lists. I will post my new and revised Bucket List Sunday January 9,2011.
Yes I know we could say "goals" or I want to try new things this year. Having a Bucket List sounds a little more fun to me and appropriate. We never know when the end is near, we need to take advantage of NOW. Too many of us are so busy working and struggling to support ourselves and families for the future. It's great to plan for the future,but make time for yourself and go on an adventure. Even a mini adventure is good, try new things, food and finding ways to improve yourself and your life... Face your fears. Teach someone your favorite hobby. Volunteer. Everyday & every moment can be amazing... Only you can make it happen.

I had such a blast! ATTENDING the Frozen Bun Run was on my Bucket list, but since I've seen how crazy it looks to jump in the cold Delta & ring in the New Year I, too, decided PARTICIPATING in the Frozen Bun Run is now on the list.
I think the idea of a joint Bucket List is great because there are similar things some of us have on our own lists that we can do together. Bay to Breakers? As soon as I get paid again, I'm registering for the race. To costume or not?
