My Bucket List

Bucket List came out in 2007 starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.

Two complete opposite men are forced to share the same hospital room throughout their treatment. They both discover that they only have months to live. Carter creates a Bucket List of all the things he would like to do before he "kicks the bucket." The two unlikely friends go on a search to complete their bucket list. Through this, they find the true meaning of love, life and friendship. Below is their bucket list:

• Witness something truly majestic
• Help a complete stranger for a common good
• Laugh till I cry
• Drive a Shelby mustang
• Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world
• Get a tattoo
• Skydiving
• See the pyramids
• Get back in touch with...
• See Rome

Because I have a chance of recurrence, this movie hit home. I cried with 20 minutes left of the movie. I cried 20 minutes after. I cried for 40 minutes straight.


It's a wonderful film but I'm sure it impacts me at a deeper level now that I know how precious life is. I don't have a time frame for my life. We all don't. I still feel I have a better chance of passing away from a car accident than cancer. I don't stress over the little stuff as much but I'm the type of person that needs the constant reminder to do more fun things for myself. I've been obsessed about my bucket list since last night. So here it is:

• See Italy & the Sistine Chapel
• Buy a hybrid
• Own my own puppy or dog
• Inspire my nephews to become better people
• Make a lasting impact in the education and/or cancer community
• Find my true love
• Run a 10K
  
• Learn how to ballroom dance and swing dance
• Speak basic conversational Spanish
• Find my true home
• Master one hobby well enough that people would purchase

I will continue to add to my bucket list and to revisit this list. What is on your bucket list?
