30-Day Blog Challenge – Day 10

My Bucket List

Well, there are lots of things I would like to do, places I’d like to visit, but this list is a start.  It is in no particular order. And I think they are realistic things that I could actually see myself checking off this list.

1 – Finish my Bachelor’s Degree in Innovation and Leadership.  I am currently a senior at Southern Oregon University, but I work full-time and so I am only taking one class at a time, so at this rate, I should graduate in 2022.

2 – Pay off my house.  I am in the process of refinancing my house, and my lender tells me that if I continue to make the same payments that I do now, I will have my house paid off in 12 years, instead of the full 30 years.

3 – Complete the documentation for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.  The DAR is a lineage-based service organization for women who are directly descended from a person involved in the United States’ efforts towards independence.  It was founded in 1890 and is dedicated to promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism.  I have 3 known ancestors that served in the American Revolution and I need to get the documented proof that at least one of them is my ancestor.  This includes Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates showing the line of descent.

4 – Attend the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. 

5 – Fly in a hot air balloon over Napa Valley. 

6 – Take a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. 

7 – Swim with the manatees.

8 – Take a gondola ride in Venice. 

9 – Visit the Colosseum in Rome. 

10 – Watch every Pixar movie with my grandson.

11 – Write in a journal every day for a year.  It might be an art journal, a smash book, or just writing from my journal jar prompts.

12 – Write my memoirs.  The title I have chosen is, “Memoirs of a Should-Be Madwoman”.  I have overcome some tragedies in my life and sometimes wonder why I haven’t gone stark-raving mad.
