Bucket List aka "Living Well"

I really admire people who have a lot of hobbies.  People who spend time perfecting a talent, a sport, a craft are usually more interesting humans.  Myself, I'm kind of a dabbler.  I also talk about doing things somewhere in the future, when I have more time, more money etc.  I did start a "bucket list" in my journal awhile back. The term "bucket list" sort of annoys me for some reason.  I feel like I'd rather it be called the "living well list" or something more positive.  Along with practicing being brave, this whole turning 40 thing has me thinking that it's high time to at least begin working on some of these things I want to do with the rest of my life.  Maybe the days with more time and more money will never come, maybe they will, but either way I'll probably be more interesting if I do some fun stuff along the way.  

Here are some highlights:
1. Drive across the United States
2. Learn to play acoustic guitar
3. Read the Bible
4. Start a blog
5. Learn to oil paint
6. Go to Paris
7. Live in New York City
8. Become a decent seamstress
9. Attend the Kentucky Derby
10. Attend National Finals Rodeo
11. Learn to speak Spanish
12. Learn how to paddleboard
13.Start a family girls weekend
14. Knit well enough to actually make something wearable
15. Go to Charleston and Savannah
16. Visit Ireland
17. Try out for a play
18. Memorize at least 10 poems
19. Go to Bora Bora and stay in one of those huts on stilts over the water
20. Be a 4-H Leader

I probably should have 40 things for my 40th year, but this seems like a good start.
