Bucket List

-
There are some things in life that deserve a special list.
My sister and I write those things down, categorize them and do them.

That's how we ended up at the Josh Groban concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. 


 It was awesome, lemme tell ya. Seeing a Bucket List item turn into reality.  

But it doesn't just happen.

You've gotta write those special things down.
You've gotta categorize them. 
There's strategy and hard work involved.

It's hard.
It's challenging.
It's easy to get distracted.

You have to budget.
You have to plan.
You have to get outside of your comfort zone.

But it's totally worth it.
(Josh Groban is totally worth it :) 

So, what's on your List?
What are you willing to do to make it a reality?

It's been a week and a half  since we landed in the Land of Enchantment. Yes, we're back! I gotta be honest. New Mexico is...different than England. I could fill a blog with the differences between the two. But, for the sake of travel writers and my own fingers, I won't. All I know is, life is different now that we're back. But different isn't bad. Being back means a whole lotta things can happen. Or not happen. Back means starting new things, or catching up on old things. Back means going after dreams not yet realized before, or continuing dreams pursued before. Back means meeting new people, or getting to know old friends better. Back means big choices or little decisions.  What's the first thing you do when you get back (from anywhere)?

Memorial Day:  A federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.  ---- I recently got a text from a dear friend that reminded me that we all fight and serve a kingdom much more than the U.S.  Let me illuminate what I mean.  We humans live and die for a cause that is so much more than fighting in other countries for freedom.  We humans live and die for a cause that is so much more than our own peace and prosperity .  We humans life and die to bring about God's kingdom. Now, we may or may not be warring against physical forces,  but we all face and must fight against spiritual forces in our daily lives.  There are those of us who have lost loved ones in that cause,  or even know beloved friends and family on the front lines of this ongoing war.   I haven't lost a brother in the armed forces fighting for the United States of Ame...

Childhood dream! Okay, okay, so it's not Broadway. It's actually London's West End. But that doesn't mean it doesn't count. You remember those childhood dreams you wrote down in your diary? The entries that read something like, "When I'm older (older, meaning 12) I want to travel to Australia and see a live Koala..." or the simpler entry you, age 12, wrote about becoming a grown up "I want to be a brain surgeon someday." I've never been to Australia. And that's okay with me. I can't discount things I've experienced in my lifetime just because they don't exactly meet my diary criteria. I remember going to the Albuquerque Zoo with my family and seeing a live Koala for the first time. I think I cried. Viewing that darling, fuzzy Koala face through the glass was enough for me. I will never become a brain surgeon (I've talked about my aversion to blood in other posts) And that's okay with me. I am p...
