My Bucket List

Lists seem to be the current craze on Facebook (random facts about yourself). One friend's post inspired me to think about my bucket list. I've compiled a few bucket list items of things still to do. And then thought about a list of things I've done - and has made me very thankful for this life on earth. Oh for the life to come after this... cannot come close to comparison!

Here's my bucket list:
