Last night momma and I watched the movie, 'Bucket List'. This movie is with Jack Nickalous and Morgan Freeman. It is about 2 older men that are complete opposites, each comes down with cancer and are told that they have only 6 months to a year to live. They create a 'bucket list' a list of things that they want to do before they die. I could go into lots with the movie, I highly recommend it, so I won't tell you anymore.
Today I want to ask you, if you created a 'bucket list' what would your top 3 things be to do before that day?
I have thought about it, and will be honest there is not that 1 thing that I would do. So I am going to say this...although, as soon as I hit publish post, it will probably change!!
1) Before I told anyone that my days were numbered, I would take each of the kids alone just me and them to anywhere they wanted. I would not tell them that this was probably one of the last times that it would be 1-on-1 with them, I would just want to enjoy a full week just us, having fun and enjoying each of us. After that I would want the whole family to go to Hawaii together and just enjoy each other.
2) I think that I would want to skydive...not sure I could ever do it, I know that I would be fine once I jumped, it would be leaving the plane that I would have trouble with.
3) I honestly cannot think of a # 3....I would like to do something worthwhile to a complete stranger, something that could change there life....
One last note.....the thing that troubles me about creating a list like this or even saying these the things I want to do before I kick the bucket, is these are the things that I should do now and not wait.....why wait!!
'Dying' to hear your answers.....

I first would like to leave my children a journal. I know just saying i love you isn't always enough. Showing them is much better and important. Sometimes it is hard to let yourself show are true feelings as parents. But it is wise for our children to see we are not perfect.
I then would like to spend as much time showing them one on one my love for them doing things they want to do.
last but not least i would make sure my will and life insurances are all okay
Hmm I don't know I have to think about it. I know that everyday I try and spend more time with my kids...
