Hello All (or should I say, anyone at all...just one, maybe?)
My name is Nichole and I have been doing a really deep search in myself of what it is I truly want out of this life. I don't know about anyone else, but it's actually a really daunting task! I am finding it to be pretty hard to really pinpoint what it is I want. For that reason, I decided to start writing down some things that I want to accomplish in life. Things that I want to be able to tell my grandchildren one day (and no, I don't have any of my own kids yet...but I like to plan ahead), things that they will want to eventually tell their grandchildren (a bit much, yeah?)
I just feel that I am a normal, every day plain Jane and it is not as if I am ever going to have a building, bridge or stretch of highway named after me...so I would like for my family to at least want to remember me years from now as someone who did what she planned to do. I want them to know that if they put their minds to something, they can do it...because I am going to do it and set a good example for them (I hope!!!)
I think the whole point of making a list...which I have found is called a "Bucket List" (thank you Justin Zackham), is a way for me to lay it all out there and have something tangible there. Maybe this blog is my next step. I have already given my wonderful husband the duty to kick me in the pants when I start slacking on my list. I think this is a way to be held even more accountable for it. I want to believe that if many, many, many people (overconfidence in my writing? perhaps) read this and help me stay on target...I'll get it done. It takes a village, people! Keep on me, please!
I am still working on my list...they say a bucket list should be 100 items. Well, I have about 80 or so right now and I keep editing and adding and removing and I am afraid that if I continue to change it, I am never going to do it!!! I will try and post my list today or sometime soon.
Thank you and Good Day!
