Sooner or later we all run out of time

"That's on my bucket list" is something I say quite often, but in reality I've never taken the time to sit down and actually write a list. 

A bucket list is something that will be forever growing and changing, as you get older, or as your priorities change, you'll cross some things off and think of new things to add. 

But if you don't start somewhere you might never start, and time will pass you by without you having experienced any of the things you wanted to do. 

So, here's the beginning of my list. It was hard to try to narrow my lifelong dreams down into a manageable list, but I've started by breaking them up into categories. There are some things I'll be able to cross off over the next couple of years and others that will take many years to accomplish. By starting now, and starting while I'm young, I'm giving myself the best chance possible to fulfil my dreams.

While I was creating my list I thought it would be fun to look online to see what other people had included in their lists. It was such a nice feeling to see that I have already done many of the things that other people want to do. 

I try to make the most out of every day, and I'm always thinking of new things I can do or experience to keep life as interesting and exciting as possible. 

I love looking back on each week or month or year and saying 'Wow, we did so much, and had so much fun along the way!' 

I'd like to set a challenge for you all - to write at least five things on your own bucket list this week that you'd like to do in your lifetime. I'd love to hear what some of them are!
