Many of you I am sure have seen the movie. That which motivated us to consider what we would put on our own bucket list if we were faced with our immediate or in the near future mortality. For me, I often try to think about what would actually be on my list. I often dream of exotic locations, and great adventures. But if I actually settle down with a pen and paper, I am not so sure I would write any of those things down.
To me, if I was facing my mortality (aren't we all rushing toward it right now?), then I would want some serious things tied up. For example; I would tell my sisters that although we live far apart, they have been two of the most important people in my life. I would tell my husband that no matter all the horrible things that we have been through together...we were together and that is what mattered. I would tell my neice that she is the most beautiful person in the world and she can accomplish anything she wants. I would tell my Dad that in the grand sceme of things that he really mattered to me.
Telling all of my friends and family of course that I loved them, forgave them, ask them to forgive me and hopefully say all that needs to be said. Of course I would love to see the world and all the great wonders that the planet has to offer. But in reality, I would hope I would have the will to say the things that people avoid saying for a lifetime and then can not bring themselves to say in the end. So if I were to write something down on my bucket list I would simple put...COURAGE.
