As I settle in for an eight hour flight across the North Atlantic Ocean. I look at my seat-mate who is a member of a women's tour group that I'm traveling with. I ask her if she is excited about the days ahead and she enthusiastically says, "Oh yes, going to Switzerland is the last thing on my Bucket List. I'm very excited!"
While her words impress me, the fire in her eyes pulls me in and makes me curious to know about all that she has already checked off of her Bucket List. I do not ask because I don't want to pry. Still, I'm amazed that she has been so timely and efficient at creating and completing a Bucket List. When I suggested that it is time to make a new Bucket List, she agreed. I could tell by her big smile that she had already been thinking the same thing.
In case you don't already know this, a Bucket List is a list of things you want to do or see before you "kick the bucket". The term was made popular in the movie, The Bucket List starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. It's a very touching and inspiring movie that will be released on DVD on June 10th .
My ten day trip to Switzerland was rich with new sights and experiences. The photo above was taken as I took a solitary walk down the sidewalk by River Ruess in Lucerne, Switzerland. The sun was beginning to set and it seemed to cast a large spotlight on the far away snow covered peaks as a storm slowly made its way into the city.
I've been thinking about my own Bucket List. What next? What do I really want to do or see before I die?
I sn 't it great to know that you can complete everything on your list and then have enough time left to make a new list?!
What would you put on your Bucket List?
Something to think and dream about, eh?
Blessings!
