What's On Your Bucket List?

A few weeks ago I went to see a movie entitled "The Bucket List."  The movie stars Morgan Freeman as a garage mechanic named Carter and Jack Nicholson as a wealthy businessman named Edward.  Both men have cancer and receive the news that they only have 6 months to live.One day Carter starts writing up a list of all the things he would like to do before he "kicks the bucket" or dies.  

He puts such things as visiting the Taj Majal and the  Great Wall of China.  As they share a room Edward is curious about this and adds his own things such Sky Diving and Auto Racing.  The rest of the movie chronicles their trip around the world do everything on the "list." 

What would include on your list of things you would like to do with the rest of your life?  Take a moment now to write down a  few things.  

Doing this activity can show us and others what we value and what our interests are all about.  Enjoy making your list!
