Why I am Starting a Blog

The other day I decided to make a bucket list. I have all these things that I've always wanted to do, and you never know which day will be your last and I figured by putting this out so everyone can see it, I would be more likely to actually follow through. This quote is what really prompted me to make a bucket list:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW, What a ride!'" ~ Anonymous.

Bucket List

So, this is my bucket list at the moment. I'm sure things will be added in the future, but one of my items on my list was to write a blog, so I thought a blog about my bucket list would be a great way to keep me accountable. It's kinda long and random and doesn't really have any particular order to it right now, but that's ok. Some of these are kinda simple and others are really a stretch, but I figured why not just put them on it?
