The BUCKET LIST, everyone talks about it, some have given it deep thought, others might have gone the extra step and put it on paper, but usually it is only in fun....
As I have progressed through the last couple busy weeks of my life, I have gone about my business like I have all the time in the world. But as I sit on the front porch in my swing today and reflect I realize that I have shed a few tears the last couple of weeks and it hasn't been because of PMS! It seems that everywhere I look, everything I listen to, everyone around me has been touch with a loss of some sort in their lives. The news is full of car crashes, Facebook is full of prayer request, and the stupid talk shows that I have on in the background while I am cleaning the house are telling stories of families losing the ones they love, children being left without parents, and diseases that we can't cure! WOW - it has really started getting too me!
First thing I am going to do is tune out for awhile! No need to fill my head with sadness, instead I am going to take these reminders to make sure that I live for the day and know that God will heal those in need... they say "he doesn't ever gives us more than we can handle"...
Second thing I am going to do is focus on that stupid bucket list idea that everyone is talking about! I have often made comments of the things I want to do, but I am going to make the commitment to get started, if I finish before my time, well I'll just start another one!
