Bucket List for me!

It is really hard to think about what I want on my bucket list. So many things that I wanted to do that I have already done. I guess I will list what was on my list that I have already done in red, but still might have the opportunity to do it again some day.
  • Run my own day care/preschool with a focus on Christian curriculum.
  • Open an Infant Day Care and focus on infant development and infant sign language.
  • Help a family get back on their feet when they are down.
  • Be foster parents.
  • Work as houseparents at a children's home.
  • Get a bachelors degree and maybe masters degree.
  • Go on a cruise with my hubby. A very past due honeymoon.
  • Be a mentor in a program with mothers and children trying to make it after problems.
  • Study with more people, and share the gospel.
  • Work as a mentor/counselor to help prevent abortions.
  • Have a vegetable/fruit garden.
  • Watch my grandchildren become strong, faithful Christians, following in their parents footsteps.
  • Parasail. Yeah, I know, I am terrified of heights but that looks wonderful. Want to do it.
  • Go to the top of Reunion Tower. Heights thing again, but JB wants to take me up there and always has so I might do that. Can I put my back to the glass elevators. Something about watching myself get farther, and farther off the ground. :)
There is so much I want to do, but it all involves helping people. I love people, and worry about the state of our nation. I love being a positive light for people and making people feel better. My down side is I don't have an easy time saying "no" and will walk away if I feel like there will be conflict. DO not like conflict. Life is too short to say things you will regret, in the heat of a moment. I want to spend my life loving people and laughing. I try to push negative people out of my life because I don't want that in my life and I don't need it in my life. I have stopped watching TV because it is so negative! And mostly immoral. Ask my hubby or boys, I hate the TV. Just a time waster to me. Now music is another story, love it and have it on a lot. Love to listen to Zach's orchestra concerts with the Mesquite Symphony Orchestra, and Poteet and even Kimbrough. Love high school football and anything else my kids are playing. Never had any desire to coach sports. I am sure I will think of more to add to my bucket list. By adiaos, for now.
