The other day, I watched the movie “”The Bucket List“  starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.  What struck me and stayed with me from this movie was the concept of the “bucket list.“  For those of you who are not sure what a “bucket list” is, it is a list of things that you want to do, and try to do before you “kick the bucket” (die).  So I got to thinking, seriously, what if I had a year left to live, what would be some of the things that I would want to get done before I kicked the bucket. 

So, here is my bucket list:

1. I love to travel, but in the last few years I have had to scale back on my travels.  I have been fortunate to see many different countries and to experience different cultures.  But, I have not yet made it to China to see the Great Wall, and to India to see the Taj Mahal.
   
2. I would like to parachute out of a plane - just like the old guys in the movie.  I had a friend who did it once, and she said it was the most amazing feeling.  I am yet to get up the courage to try it.
   
3. I would like to be a participant on the reality show - “The Amazing Race“ I absolutely love that show.
   
4. I would like to take a spin in an actual race car - do you get the feeling that I like speed?
   
5. I would like to have lunch with Barack Obama.
   
6. I would like to get front row seats to a Mariah Carey concert.
   
7. I would like GossipSecretaries to have just one day of hits similar in kind to Darren Rowse’s blog, ProBlogger.
   
8. Finally, I would like to tell world leaders at a United Nations conference, to make sheltering, feeding, clothing and providing medical care to the children of the world, their number one priority.  Because the children of today, are the adults, leaders, and even rebels of tomorrow.
   

So tell us, what would your bucket list include?
